our 4th celebration carried on after our naps with a walk through town. we enjoyed taking pictures more than the actual walk because it was muy caliente!
after our walk we hit up jamba juice and then went back to the apartment where i immediately passed out on the couch again. following nap number two for the day we headed up the canyon with the wonderful wilcox family who so graciously offered to host us for dinner. the house and the scenery were absolutely gorgeous!
this big guy is named independence. we truly have no idea if he has a name and what it really is but in the spirit of the day, we named him independence. alicia would have no part in making friends with him but the little cowgirl deep in my heart creeps up so easily and i spent a while at the fence with him.
leesh and i wandered the house finding all the cool things about it while the boys were in heaven on the indoor sport court. then we all headed outside and joined together to sing god bless america and indulge in momma wilcox's famous 4th trifle.
we all met up at the temple to watch the stadium of fire fireworks. we were all so beat that us girls left even before the show was over so we could beat the traffic and get home to bed. instead we got stuck right in the thick of it all and it took us an entire hour to go six blocks over and three streets down back to our apartments. yuck.
this 4th of july is definitely one to be beat. from absolute sleep deprivation to getting hit by some crazy on the street, i think we covered it all! i missed being with my family but am so very grateful to have amazing friends that i can easily consider family.
cheers to america!
