4th of July in St. George

07.21.14

We all went to St. George to celebrate the 4th of July with Grandma and Grandpa Laidlaw! It used to be a tradition for all the Laidlaw children and families to congregate in St. George and it has been years since we have spent this holiday with all the them. Over the years, Grandma and Grandpa have been such good sports and made sure the kids had good food and a great time. Grandpa always maintained a fleet of working hotwheels so the kids could zip around and around the yard thousands of times! There were wooden swords for the Robin Hoods, Willow Ufgoods and Mad Mardigans to wield while protecting the Laidlaw Kingdom. Boats of all kinds were floated down raging waters in the awesome gutters. One was never sure what character would come up from the depths of the basement where the costume bin had been raided. There were a few years when the kids set up lemonade stands, the beginnings of their entrepreneurial exploits. We wish all our children could have made it to St. George this year. Those who were able to make it had a great time reliving those wonderful memories through the next generation.

Happy 4th of July!
Slip Slidin' away!
