On the 4th Bethany and Lydia did the parade again. Neil, Matthew, and Dallin met David when he got off work at Walmart. They all went fishing to the Lower Sunshine Reservoir by Metetesee. They didn't catch too many fish. They did get rained on pretty hard. The biggest fish caught was Joshua. He saw some minnows in the water and wanted to go down a rock and see if he could catch some. He started to slide and landed in the lake. Matthew was fishing with his waders on. He heard a splash and looked over to see Joshua floundering in the water. Matthew jumped in to save Joshua. He learned that it isn't very easy to swim with waders on. Matthew went all the way under once. Neil helped pull Joshua out of the water when Matthew got him close enough. He also helped Matthew out of the water. What a tender mercy that Matthew was close and could help save Joshua.
MaryAnne, Lydia, Aaron, and I went to Cody in the evening to play at the park, have a treat and meet the boys in time for the fireworks. We had a good time at Mentock park until it started to rain. Mentock park has all new playground equipment. The kids were really enjoying it. After playing we went to Wendy's to get Frostys. It was really busy so we went to Walmart and got ice cream there. We watched the fireworks behind Walmart. It was a good show. I think it was the first time we had taken Aaron to see fireworks. Powell hasn't had a firework show since 2015.
It was a good day to celebrate our country. We are so blessed to have the freedoms we do. I know that the hand of the Lord directed the founding of the United States. We each have a responsibility to help keep America great.
