We look forward to the visit from the Shoe Crew for the 4th of July in Park City – which has become a bit of a tradition.  Of course, G & E can’t wait to whisk them off to one of our favorite spots – Provo Falls in the Uintas – for a morning of hiking up and down the falls.  AND – this year was especially good as the water level was pretty high –  –

The Shoe Crew – daughter Heather, son-in-law Christian and granddaughters Haley, Olivia and Kira;-)

Our turn with the granddaughters;-)

As mentioned – it was nice to have the water level high to create wonderful falls!  That is until G’s drone went into the river on the opposite side and there was NO way to get across;-(  TOO BAD!!

Gary’s drone video production was going swimmingly until operator error led to a crash and wet grave for the drone.

When the Shoe Crew visits, we not only celebrate America’s birthday – BUT, also Heather’s birthday (July 4) and Haley’s birthday (July 15)!!  Tonight was the night to celebrate all with a BBQ by G – –

Happy Birthday girls!!

Make Good Wishes;-)

American Girl doll Kit has taken up golf.

Today’s activities included a geocache hunt on Park City Main Street.  A fun time was had by all searching from clue to clue until we found that promised cache – –

Ureka – we found it!!

Haley and E & G also hiked into Keith’s meadow at Deer Valley, spread some seeds and hiked down Ontario Trail to Silver Lake.  A GREAT morning!!

Our annual visit to spread seeds in the meadow where son Keith’s ashes were spread.

Our 4th of July fireworks celebration came a night early as we enjoyed concerts and fireworks at the Canyons on the 3rd – –

Listening to live music while waiting for the fireworks.

July 4th brought the usual small town events – pancake breakfast in the Park, a fly over from Hill AF base and the ever amusing local parade;-)

An AWESOME flyover!!

Our friend Jack was in the parade with his fly fishing buddies.

Minnie Mouse high fives her way down Main Street.

And so – another summer (or short 4 weeks) ends in Park City and we are on our way NORTH – to Alaska.

Next stop Glacier NP – see you soon – E & G on our way
