4th of July picture overload

Utah is rad. Provo is even more rad. Provo, Utah is the "raddest" when it is celebrating a holiday, specifically the 4th of July. It has been one of the very best weekends home in quite a while. Celebrating our country with people we love, called for the happiest of weekends. My mom is a pro at table decorating and helped me tremendously with a table setting at my in-laws. As you can tell, our nephew is at a fun stage so the camera seems to gravitate towards him. Shaun & Clark are obsessed with each other and it's the greatest to see. Our families are both 'outdoorsy' so between the two we got a lot of bike riding, pickle ball (my new favorite sport), and hiking in this weekend. The weather was amazing and we just felt super blessed everyday. What a great reminder for us.

nobody blogs anymore.
which makes me not want to, but I know I'll regret that so I'll continue doing it. 


July 4th is always so much fun so I wasn't too worried. We joined the Sant's and a few other families for Spider Man in the afternoon and then had a big BBQ and firework party at the most amazing house I've ever seen.

We also were able to go to the Lake a day or two after the 4th festivities which was also a blast. Utah Lake is dry & muddy surrounded by desert compared to Lake Linear out here. I couldn't believe the tall gorgeous green trees that surrounded the lake. It made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Like always here are some pictures to document.
