OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PARTY

Once again, it was the "Barber Barbie Q." 2011 was an especially great party. We were only missing 11 of us out of a family of 65. Even Joan and Craig were on their 3 week break from the MTC in Mexico City. We were even joined by the newest member of our family...Libby (12 days old).
The fireworks were epoch this year as Utah has now legalized aerials only increasing the desire to make it the best show ever. The entries were so creative with displays including "Osama Ben Betta," "Robyn's Independence Day," new "TSA Screening," "WWW Death Rink," "Death by Tyler," "Project Runway," "MOMMAR GADDAFI plays Omar Kaddafi," "The Mexican Wave with Joan and Craig sneaking across the border," "Donald Trump for President," "NASA's Last Space Shuttle Flight," "Knight in Shining Amour (deadly to be sure)," "Anthony Weiner," "Nancy Pelosi Raises the Roof" and the grande finale..."Back to the Future."
There was a 15 foot tall inflatable double waterslide. Let us not forget Chet and his "You've gotchyer wee, You've gotchyer not so wee, and you've gotchyer big fricken huge!" Such was the case when the "wees" were kicked off the slide by the "big fricken huges" for a hysterical round of relays. As far as parties, families and fun go...we are never too old or too young to play together. What better way to celebrate life, love, freedom, and the blessing of family!
