Happy Birthday America

I love the 4th of July. It's always a fun filled day with good food, fun & lots of sun. It's definantly different not living close to family and partaking in the normal family traditions with the backyard BBQ, fireworks and family fun, but we are starting to create our own traditions. This year we took decided to head to Seven Peaks and play with Enzo in all the different kiddie water areas. He had a blast and after 3 hours we were all tired and ready for a nap. On our way home we stopped by a Mexican mart and loaded up with all the goodies to make carne  asada tacos. That evening we enjoyed a fun family BBQ with just the three of us. We sat out on the deck that night and watched all the Fireworks go off on our side of the lake, as well as Provo and American Fork. Matt was sad because we didn't buy any fireworks this year since it has been so dry and I prefer my house does not burn down.  We missed bing with our families, but enjoyed the day the best we could.
