Fourth of July Festivities

oh how I love the fourth of july. it is truly one of my favorite holidays, and the fact that we had an extra long weekend made it even better this year. Apparently we were too busy having fun to take very many pictures, but Mckay did capture Henry’s first dip in the kiddie pool.

We’re pretty sure he enjoyed it. Saturday was spent in alpine with a tasty bbq, massive water fight, sub zero ice cream (not our favorite) and the best stadium of fire works we have seen in a long time. We were pretty curious to see how the babe would react to the fireworks. He hardly even noticed them, he was too busy people watching.

Sunday we headed up to the Rytting Cabin in the Uintas. I was excited to be up there in the Summer, since I’ve only been there in the fall. but as luck would have it there was still snow on the ground and ice in the lakes. still beautiful though. we spent the night and enjoyed relaxing with a bunch of Rytting family before coming home on Monday. And because I cant do a post without mentioning food, Dicks in Kamas, oh my they have the best marshmallow shakes and fries (potbelly explained)

we finished off our Fourth of July weekend with a fire works show courtesy of Papa Jacobs. we also enjoyed the view of the valley from our driveway, so many fireworks! so fun that we can do aerials now.

such a fun time of year! Happy Fourth to all! : )
