Father's Day in Ogden

JD & Laura kindly invited us up to Ogden for a DELICIOUS BBQ on Father's Day, here are some pictures of the event...

Alida & Jake-

We all took turns swinging from their huge Willow tree, some of us played baseball from the tree, and frisbee from the tree, and all sorts of things...

A video of the dance party-

Thank you JD & Laura, what a fun time!!

Gotta love a good book

After we undressed her, changed her, and dressed her back up... she still wouldn't put it down...
