4th of July

We spent the fourth of July in Cedar City with Tripp's parent's and brother Patrick's family. It was a long day (we drove there and back same day) but absolutely worth it. We missed the parade but made it in time for a wonderful celebration in the park complete with bounce house everything, climbing wall, dunk tank, etc. The kids had fun running around and playing on all the stuff. After lunch, Tripp's mom stayed home while Abbie and her cousin Saige took a nap and the rest of us (Tripp's dad, brother Pat, sister-in-law Jenn, Kyle, Tripp and I) went to the movies. That evening, Tripp's parents had a BBQ and we went to shoot off our fireworks. That night (thanks to Jenn's brother, a BLM Firefighter) we got a pass for literally front row seats at the fireworks show. They were really great fireworks and it was amazing to see all the firefighters jump into action putting out the many fires they caused. We drove home late that night and enjoyed a nice comfortable rest in our beds...glad to be home. We left the camera at home so unfortunately, no photos this year.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy fourth!
