4th of July












Everyone has heard of the Garden of Eden but I didn't know it still existed. That is where we spent the 4th of July in Eden Utah with Chris and Lisa Opfar and Heather and Cy Waldren. Eden is a small town nestled in the mountains lined with pine trees and a lake as the center piece. It must be one of Utah best kept secrets because it is not over populated and so picturesque. I felt like we had gone back in time to experience a small town celebration. From the main street parade filled with antique tractors in a line to the arm wrestling match that Chris signed Tyson and I up for. I wish I could say that we did the Packer family name justice but I did not match strength to those hay bailing farm girls. Chris and Christian represented Draper well by both placing first. We rented one big condo so all the kids could just play together but the best part had to be sneaking up the the golf course on the hill that over saw 3 small towns so we enjoyed 3 firework shows one after the other and we were the only ones around. The funny thing is we had tickets to Miley Cyrus Stadium of Fire and the last minute we sold them so we could go, one of the best choices this year!
