We started out with breakfast at the Hills'. It was a bigger event than I expected. Besides Val and Noni, Mandy and Mike were there with Mike's parents, his sister Shelley, and Shelley's new puppy Henry. Lei Momi and Doug Sampson were also there with several of their children and grandchildren. We enjoyed fruits, breakfast cake, and bacon. I think my favorite was Momi's sourdough pancakes. Mmmm!
After breakfast, Noni let RaeLynn, Joseph and Ella jump in the small pools she had set up. She also set up a plastic sheet to "slip 'n' slide" down the hill.
For lunch, we devoured some delicious sandwiches from Kneaders Bakery. Delicious!
So far it's turning out to be a great day! The weather is great, albeit a bit hot. It's great to have the day off from work this year too. It's a fine day to celebrate. I'm certainly grateful to be able to enjoy this day in great peace and comfort. What a difference from the physical and emotional exhaustion that the original Mormon settlers to this area endured so long ago.
