Fourth of July


So I must say I am so very thankful for this country we live in. I am thankful for the people willing to risk their lives so we can enjoy the things we love. I love being free to enjoy my family and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Last Wednesday Terrys work released a big product and to celebrate they gave them Thursday off and he had Friday off for the 4th. So we packed up the kids and headed to Wendover to enjoy a free hotel room and one nice peaceful drive. We enjoyed the pool and went out to dinner. Then in the morning we headed out to blue lakes. Terry and I have been there before but never with the kids. They had so much fun snorkeling and looking for the fish.

When we got home we just pluncked around doing a little of this and a little of that until it was time to go watch the fireworks at Thanksgiving point. But Terry and I are getting so old we can't stand the crowds so we headed to the hills above Cabela's. Then we put out a movie and enjoyed hanging out watching a valley full of random fireworks until the main show started. There is just something about the fireworks that fills my heart full of gratitude for this wonderful country! Gotta love the life baby.
