the fourth

has always been one of my favorite holidays. i think for sure it was the fireworks and being with family. now it is still for all of those reasons, but i am so much more aware of how grateful i am to live in this awesome country. to know i am free and have the right to live the way i choose. feel so lucky to be here.











That morning we went and had a ward breakfast that included a flag ceremony, 15 min speaker, breakfast (it was danishes and/or homemade omletes like at the resorts...awesome), and entertainment. The entertainment was brought to us by a group call "Synergy". They performed for so long. I got tired just watching them. It was so nice we were able to eat while we listened, apparently last year they ate afterwards.












That afternoon Adam's family came up to our house and we went swimming for a few hours,


then had a bbq, games, and when it got dark watched a lot of fireworks across the valley.

Very cool. It was a great holiday.

I still can't believe they had that group perform for 2 hours! Crazy. The picture captures the cheesiness perfectly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with you guys. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your pictures. The fireworks picture looks very cool.

So sorry I missed it. Except for Synergy. Doesn't look to enticing. Looks very cheesy!

I wish we could have enjoyed the day with all of you! Thanks for sharing the photos.

Wow- the whole matching outfit thing is a little much. I'm glad you made it through the 2 hour performance. You deserve a medal.
