Happy Birthday America!!

So we had a very long and fun 4th of July. We went to Snowbird (that is a ski resort in Utah) and we hung out all day with Cory's Family. There was an Alpine slide, a zip line, a rock climbing wall, a bungee trampoline and then of course the tram ride to the top of the mountain. We were there all morning and then we headed to Red Robin for lunch. Cory kept giving Gracie milkshake which she loved. We headed back to Brian and Bonnie's for a nice dip in the pool, then we obviously went to watch some fireworks. The Weather was so perfect all day, up on the mountain it was about 65 and slightly overcast so it was perfect for hiking around except that my neck got FRIED!!! I have not really had any sun exposure this summer so the altitude and the thinly laid clouds just were not my friends. We also got to see one of the coolest things I have ever seen (see pictures below). It was a great day and tonight is a Baseball game and more Fireworks so I am excited. Here are this pictures of our 4th. Sorry the Pictures are in Random order so I added captions.

Here is my niece Gracie on the top of the mountain.

Here is the COOLEST part of the day, a MOOSE. look at all the pictures, there was a point where it was so close I was to scared to take a picture in case the flash made it charge us (about 5 feet away)






Our fourth was great! I miss all my family I don't get to see very often. I love you all!!!
