Since the 4th of July was on a Sunday we celebrated Independence Day on the 3rd. To start off the day Crystal (Matt's sister), her husband Danny and I ran in the first ever Rupert 4th of July race. It was unbelievably FREEZING!! I think I finally warmed up as I was coming into the finish line. After the race the men went golfing while the women took the kids to the big 4th of July parade. The kids received too much candy and otter pops. After the parade we headed to Grandma Reddington's house to play whiffle ball and croquet. If you have never played whiffle ball it is very surprising to find how difficult it can be to hit a ball with such a skinny bat. But don't we look like pros?
OUR LITTLE THIRD BASEMAN
STEPHEN HAD NO PROBLEM HITTING WITH SUCH A SKINNY BAT.
I WAS EVEN WORSE AT PLAYING CROQUET THAN WHIFFLE BALL. :(
MATT THROWING HIS CURVE BALL
LOOK AT THAT FORM!!
The other team in whiffle ball was very generous and made the rule that I had unlimited strikes. Eventually I did figure out how to hit the ball and slammed a few good ones. Don't make fun until you've tried it!

I agree, hitting the ball with that skinny little bat is VERY hard!! That race was fun to do together, thanks for running with me!
HOw fun! Steven looks like a Pro. Pretty sure I could beat your record at strikes though--I can't hit a ball with a regular bat! :)
Lucky you! That sounded like a wonderful vacation. Going to the temple and going to your high school reunion so cool. The west is so beautiful I love the pic when you guys were camping.
