Flashback Friday--July 4th (4 yrs ago)

4 years ago we were enjoying the 4th of July with our bestest friends Jer & Sher

(J.P., Mitch & Jer)
We rented a beach house in Cali., and lived. it. up.!

Not sure what was more entertaining to watch, the fireworks or Jer?

We had an amazing vacation, but pictured below was one of the most memorable experiences.

Instructions on how to build a make-shift bathroom stall:

1-Open two doors on same side of vehicle(preferably away from the oncoming traffic).
2-Use a blanket to cover doors of the stall.
Warning: In some rare cases of emergency there is not a blanket available and you must do without.
3-Be quick about your business.
4-Drive away calmly. As if nothing ever happened.



The covered stall

Everyone's relief


On the agenda for this year...
*Breakfast at Chick's cafe
*Oakley parade (tons of candy)
*BBQ at relatives
*Hopefully no make-shift bathroom stalls

Oh, you are way too clever with the make-shift bathroom.
Was this the same trip that you had the "investment" ha ha ha! I will never forget that story :)

Sounds like you have a fun day planned! Looks like we will see you in Oakley for the parade! We will be on the UVU float! Woo-hoo! If you don't laugh too much at us, we'll make sure and throw lots of candy to you! (hee-hee)

Seriously I have yet to share this with Jeff but you crack me up. Is Chick's really that good? I totally remember going there for dinner with the family and the only thing good was the scones. I will be at the Oakley Rodeo on the 4th, didn't know the parade was such a hit. And good luck on the no make shift bathroom goal. You're hilarious.

Looks like a fun trip. The bathroom stall tip is a great one--you should suggest it to Martha Stewart.

I loved Marc's comment about the investments. I wonder if Dave Ramsey has any thoughts on those...
