Happy 4th, (few days late)

We had such a fun 4th of July weekend! Normally we'd just sit at home until fireworks time and that's about it. This year just about killed us off!

Fri. we went to the zoo w/several of our friends and their kids. It was about 100* outside and we stayed there from 2-6pm! We didn't even see everything. Someone would stop, then all of us would stop and talk for about 20 min. Then, finally, we would start walking again. (It really was fun!) We were the last people at the zoo. That night we were all so tired, we decided to invite a bunch of friends and family over to our house. Everyone bought their own fireworks, and we had our own private show! The kids loved it! My favorite part was watching all the husbands/guys lighting the fireworks. They had to organize from smallest to biggest and plan it all out. It took over 1 hr to see our fireworks. :) After the food was eaten and the fireworks were done, most everyone left. Around 12:30 my family was still hanging around w/Jon Woods, and they wouldn't go home! My poor Dad had been asleep on our couch for the last hour. So I got into my PJ's and said goodnight. I think they left about 1.

Sat. we slept in 'til 10. I normally wake up around 7 w/o my alarm, but Sat. I was so tired from walking all day Fri. I just couldn't get myself out of bed. All of us, including the girls, were zombies all morning long. Around 2 we finally got dressed and went to the grocery store. Afer that we went to Raging Waters with some friends. We all had a blast. I was so scared to go on the water slides. My friend and I got a 2-man tube thinking if we went together we wouldn't be so scared. We got in line thinking we were in line for a small slide. But no, it was a big, scary slide. We were such nerds screaming all the way down! And again, we were almost the last people left when the park closed.

That night, Brandon took the girls and went to Lehi to watch a UFC fight w/the guys while my friend and I went to see HANCOCK. I loved it!
