We had a Great 4th of July! - About a week ago Nase and and I decided to get ourselves our anniversary present early...We found a pair of waverunners on KSL Classifieds for a really great deal. They are older (a 91 & 96) and one wasn't running when we got it--but Nase got them both running smoothly (I'm so thankful for his mechanical skills!--growing up w/my Dad an aircraft mechanic who can fix anything w/moving parts, it would be hard not to have a Mr. Fixit around!) . . . Anyway, so we took the waverunners out to Willard Bay--Only one was registered - but we were able to ride the 3-seater & it was tons of fun (actully our first time riding one) ...The kids thought it was a blast, too! - I'm happy to have something that we can have a lot of summer fun with!
Willard Bay is really low right now (thought it would be higher w/all the runoff ~?)...so the beach part w/the nice sand ends before the shoreline, which is all mud, but this did not stop Leka and Austin from having a great time swimming and playing anyway!
The temperature was high, but it was overcast w/a breeze, so it was quite comfortable!

Austin started to get tired towards the end of our outing & he actually fell asleep on the ride back to the Marina.
Later that evening we went to watch the fireworks with our fun next-door neighbors. It was a really great show & we had good seats.
Nase took the camera during the fireworks & caught some really cool pictures--they look like big electric jellyfish to me! :)
Then on Saturday Nase went down to Salt Lake to see Sekona who was in in town along w/some of his other Tongan friends. Then we had a BBQ and Nase's sister, Tasia & her cute daughter Ofa, joined us--Ofa's a year older than Austin, so they all had fun playing.
...and I just had to throw in this picture--kids playing in laundry baskets; so classic!

Wet and Wild!!! What a fun Fourth of July Activity and what a great anniversary gift. KSL classified; I should look in there for a little green house. I want to start my own flowers, so I don’t have to pay so much at the local nurseries.
I have never been on wave runners. They look so fun. The cutest is Leka and Austin bundled up in life preservers and arm floaties. Such a wonderful mommy you are! It looks like you guys had a blast.
I love your fire work pictures. It is so true they look like electric jelly fish; great description.
Fun wave runners, that will be great family entertainment. I am glad you had a good holiday.
Looks like you guys had a fun 4th of July!!! I bet Ramsay would love to have a wave runner- is that pretty much the same as a jet ski or seadoo? Anyways, I wish you guys lived closer, I bet our kids would have so much fun together. I definitely do want to visit w/ you guys when we come to Utah next month. We're coming the 6th-11th. Let's plan something if you're around!
Looks like you guys had tons of fun! That's awesome that Nase was able to get those waverunners working for you. That's one thing that I could never rely on Amoni doing! Your kids are growing so fast. Leka looks nothing like the little baby I remember! Someday soon we'll try a trip to Utah and have a little reunion...when the finances allow.
