July Recap - 4th of July/Gubler Family Reunion

Our family had a wonderful time celebrating the 4th of July with the Gubler side:

First, there were many fun activities at the LaVerkin City park:





We left around noon to rendezvous with my siblings and their families at Micah's house for swimming and water games.  I failed to get any pictures, but we had a blast showing off our skills on the diving board...including a killer belly flop contest.

In the evening, we met at Grandma and Grandpa Gubler's house for dinner, a talent show, and fireworks.  There was yummy food and drinks to be had:


Cousins to play with:



And daddies and mommies with kiddos:



After dinner, it was time for the talent show.  Most of the family seemed excited for it to start:
                           

Except for Grandpa:


There were lots of kids with microphones:

 


Some card tricks:

And sport demonstrations:

Some of the moms even got in on the action:
 

Everyone did a great job and received a certificate when it was over:

And Grandpa even finally cracked a smile:

At dusk, it was time for the fireworks.  Unfortunately, the fire danger was too high for regular fireworks so we made do with snap-its and sparklers.  I think the kids still had a good time:
 

 

We can hardly wait for next year's reunion!

We were so sad to miss the 4th of July activities this year. You took a lot of great pics and it almost feels like we were there. Thanks.
