Happy 4th!

What a wonderful day to be on campus at PU. We have so many wonderful traditions here...

• a family parade with firetrucks, bikes, convertibles, motorcycles, and children dressed up in patriotic form.


• A reading of the Declaration of Independence from our own Don Marshall


• The pledge and prayer


• A cookout/picnic/potluck at the Baxter park for the whole PU community


• Pool Olympics for all the kids.
  


• Water-balloon toss


• Egg toss


• And ping-pong out on the bluff.

This year I MC'ed the Pool Olympics. Contests included the belly-flop , a "goofy/no splash dive", cannonball, and a team relay where members had to swim across the pool pushing a water balloon through the water without using their hands. It was super fun. My friend Hung took lots of photos...I'll post them soon.
