Our Fourth of July was a really fun day. We started off going to the Grantsville Parade with Adam's family. While we loved the family time and usually love the parade, this year we found it a little, well, lacking.... 
You know when you've got a Sam's Club diesel driving through your parade that you're pretty much at the bottom. After the parade we went swimming with Bryan and Aubry at this awesome pool out there. It wasn't crowded at all and it was such a relief to swim on such a hot day. 
After this we met up with my family in Murray for a yummy BBQ with my favorite-- juicy steaks. It was also around this time that Adam and I realized how sunburned we got. Oops. 
Lastly, we ended off the evening with fireworks. Adam and I decided to drive up to the Holladay show (since it's now where we live) and we ended up loving it! We got there right before it started and there was still space to lay out our blanket and get a good spot. We were right underneath them too so it was really fun to see them exploding right above us. It was perfect. It was a very peaceful ending to a great day. The best part was afterward we didn't have to fight traffic. We just drove two minutes to our house and fell asleep.

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday but I think my second favorite probably is the Fourth of July. Not that Christmas and Valentines and other fun holidays don't have their place, but the Fourth is just so relaxing and fun. You get to spend the whole day with family and you don't have to buy anything and it means summertime and sunshine and BBQ's and swimming. Great day.
Wow Steph!! I saw almost the same parade in Tooele! That's funny! I actually got a kick out of the two teens that were dressed up like they were married. That was a good advertisment. We had these 2 billygoats walking down the road with their owners in the tooele parade. It was so random but so funny! We've gone to the Deseret Peak pool before too. Is adam from Grantsville? That is a fun pool. YAY! What a fun day you had :)
