4th of July Weekend

So I basically got a four day weekend and it was awesome! Friday I got to go to Salt Lake for my cousin Owen's wedding. It was a wonderful day. That night, Brandon and I had to hurry back to Provo to go camping with Rob and some friends at our favorite camping place ever, the summit of the Alpine Loop. We had to hike our gear up about a quarter of a mile to our meadow. It was so wonderful to wake up to the sunrise in a dewy green aspen grove with snow covered peaks in the background! The air was so fresh and there was nobody else around. So beautiful. Then we rode our favorite trail, Tibble Fork. We topped the trip off with DQ Blizzards. It was a perfect morning!



Later that night we went to the Stadium of Fire with Brandon's family. The fireworks were awesome and the performances were good (especially Brad Paisley). But it took us forty five minutes to get home on the scooter! Crazy.



Sunday...we didn't do much. Brandon studied, we had dinner at his parents, and played at the park by our house.


Monday, the boys all went golfing while Laura and I had WAY more fun and hiked Stewart Falls. There was so much water in the falls and probably ten feet of snow still at the base. I love this year! So much water. We came back and drove to South Jordan for a family party at the Lyons, complete with Sharon's famous cherry chocolate chip homemade ice cream.






Happy Fourth!
