July 4th in Sacramento

WEDNESDAY, my Mom, Dad, Lilly and I drove up to Sacramento (Elk Grove.) To spend the 4th with my sister Caryn. Well, not just Caryn. The whole family went except for Jared and Brian. They stayed home to hold down the fort at the bakery.

THURSDAY, I got to go watch Spencer and Bridgete's swim lessons with Caryn. That was fun. Then you went home and got in the pool.


This was the first time I put Lilly in a life vest. As you can tell she really wasn't to sure about it.

And she never really warmed up to it. Later, Aimee and Adam and their family's made it safely. Caryn made a GREAT dinner, we had shredded pork burritos. Good job Caryn.

FRIDAY, Happy 4th! Aaron and his family drove in today. So that gives us a total of 11 adults, 14 kids (Evan and Jenny came home on Saturday to make 16 kids.) and 1 dog. I guess you can say that is a house full.

Lilly just woke up from her nap and was ready to get the party started.

We ordered some pizza for lunch. Tyler, Bridgete and Lilly were have a little picnic.

Caryn had a BIG water slide that they set up in the backyard and the kids just loved it. It had a little pool on the side. Lilly and Jacob had a good time playing in it.


Macie and Lilly had the same suit. Too cute.



Tyler and I filled up water balloon's for the kids to play with. Lilly thought she was in charge of handing them out. That didn't work out to good.

Aaron of course brought some music and all the kids had so much fun dancing. Lilly even got the beat.

Later, the kids all had ice cream. Lilly was having a rough time with hers.

The kids were all set for the fireworks.

SATURDAY, we got all 16 grandkids together for a picture. All the kids wore the Old Town Baking Company shirts. I guess you can say this is the future of O.T.B.C.


Here is just a little look at how fun is was to get all the kids together. Lilly was just not happy at all.

Dave and Caryn, thank you so much for opening up you home to all of us. We really had a good time. Maybe next year. Or is it to soon the think about next year. I love you guys so much and already miss your family.
