Independence Day

For the 4th of July this year we decided to just stick aroung Visalia. I do miss 4th of July's in Vernal though. I mean where else are you going to get such great seating without even leaving your front yard? In the morning we headed up to Three Rivers and had some breakfast at Dad's favorite restaurant "We Three Bakery." It was a little slow and busy but still awfully tasty. Then we headed down to Grandma Brookhouser's house and spent the day swimming since it was well over 100F. Since we didn't want to head to the stadium for the big fireworks we just had a small show out in front of the house. We're not sure how we did it but not one single kids got burned with a sparkler. Overall it was a pretty good 4th of July.

Easter Egg Hunt

On Good Friday we headed up to Buckeye Flats in Sequoia National Park. We hid some easter eggs, ate some lunch and went on a little hike. The only bad thing about it was that we weren't able to find a good hill to roll the easter eggs down. Plus the fact I'm not sure if the National Parks Service would like very kindly towards us busting up colorful eggs and leaving them in the Park.
