packer 4th of july is one of my favorite times of year. i have many many memories of years past. as long as i can remember living in ut, we've gone. over the years our numbers have grown exponentially. this year someone counted and to that date, the bkp family had 198 descendants! with at least 6 more on the way. that's pretty incredible. i think this year we had about a 100 there.
what started out as sleeping over in grandpa's backyard, in a tent or under the stars, playing in the sandbox, having army wars, decorating our bikes and riding them in the parade around the circle, having a yummy dutch oven lunch, picking raspberries, visiting the pond, and just exploring; has grown to quite the production. this year mom & dad were in charge and we realized first hand how much work goes into something like that. they did a great job and it was definitely a success! thanks again!
the kids enjoyed a giant sandbox, launching rockets, waving flags in the parade around uncle dave's circle, riding concho, sliding down a giant slip 'n slide, checking out the peacocks and chickens, limitless ice cream cones, a zipline through the forest, and lots of yummy food.

this one cracked me up. mabel, cleaning herself off.

to say mabel was hesitant to go down the slide is an understatement. she pretty much refused. but thanks to kate, mabel finally warmed up to the idea, went down and decided it was one of the funnest things ever! {thanks kate!}
