Gilroy Family Week 2013

*Written May 2014*

In the beginning of July, Grandpa Ross, Kathy, Lynne, and Don came to visit and we planned several days of family activities and fun!

One day we visited the Lindon pool.  Everyone had a blast (that I can remember!).

Grandpa Ross is talking to Colin over Doug's shoulder.

Cousin Evelyn!

Next we had a potluck at Aunt Lauren and Uncle Ryan's house!

The adults like to sit inside in the air conditioning and chat.

Outside the kids set up a slip n slide at the bottom of the slide!

 Then on July 4th we had a big family party at Nikki's house!  Our friend Farris took lots of family photos for us all.

I love these layered jellos.

Another potluck I think!

Some daytime fireworks

There were cute relay race games for the kids and Jane loved it!

Everyone was hanging out, enjoying the shade and waiting for
night to fall so that Uncle Adam could do the big show!

Dallin helped Colin with his bottle.

Before the nighttime fireworks, Adam and I decided to debut our Tron costumes that we have been working on since February.  We are taking them to Comic Con in San Diego in a couple of weeks, and we're trying to work out any kinks before we go.  Everyone seemed to love them!  Especially Grandpa Ross who worked so hard to make our awesome discs for us.

Some "action" shots.
My skirt wasn't lighting up but that was okay - that's what the trial run is for!

After that, it was time for the show!  Colin slept peacefully in the basement, but outside we were all cheering and hollering for Adam's fireworks!  It was another brilliant show this year!

Here's some video from the week, including some shots of the fireworks finale!
