4th of July Recap

We had a "BLAST" for the 4th! 

(Cheesy Pun-Intended)

We started the morning off with a trip to Kneaders for breakfast!  Best. French. Toast. EVER!

While there we saw a the family I hope we are someday.  The family of 7 all wearing Freedom Festival running shirts and medals from the holiday race they all just finished.  We will be that family one day. :)  Give us a couple years.

Then we headed up to hike up to a beautiful waterfall.

All but Claire were excited. :)  She cried.  Alot.  Because we wouldn't carry her.

Then I followed a prompting of the Spirit.  Alternate carrying her and having her walk.  It worked.  Of course.  Just as promptings always do.

Here we are heading up...apparently not the only ones with this idea.

Halfway.  This was a little pond created along the way.  The kids tried skipping rocks across the water.

As well as the adults.

Continuing on.

See all the dirt?  Good thing water was ahead.

We made it!  And played in it. :)

    Ahhh...nothing better than enjoying the beautiful country we live in on a day intended to inspire gratitude for it.

That night.  We headed out to be with family, fireworks, food, and fun.


Highlight of the night...Uncle Greg eating a beetle!  EWWWW!!!


Aunt Heather almost puked watching it. :)

For the Grand Finale...Riverton City Fireworks display.  It was AWE-SOME!

I love the 4th.  I love this country in which I am blessed to live.  God Bless the USA!
