This year for the water relay the Mark Walter family won! The last few years Matt's uncle Scott's family had taken the trophy. But, this was a new year. It is always fun time. The relay consist of a bike ramp, canoeing, zip line, and rope swing. It's fun to watch the boys and this year a few of my Sister-in-Laws and I decided to do our own team since there were another group of girls we figured we would at least try and beat them. Ang and I did the canoe and, I figured that was safe and I didn't need to get in the water since I didn't take my swimming suit to go swim. Well, at the end of our canoeing we had to touch a pole so the person going on the zip line could then go. Well with our mad canoeing skills we were a little further from the pole so we couldn't just reach out and touch it. So I thought, we are close enough I will just hop out and touch it. I went to get out and lets just say that it was a little deeper than I thought and my feet got caught up, I went under. We did end up beating the other womens team and I was soaked. It was fun and we got a few laughs out of it.

Tonight ended with an awesome firework show put on by Matt's Uncle Scott and his boys. The Lincoln was all done up and we had some huge fireworks. I'm not talking about fireworks you buy from Wal-Mart. I'm talking about fireworks that the ranch puts on for the entire town. It is always a great show but, tonights was one of the best.
