4th of July in Utah

 

Lagoon is a must if you are in Utah!

It had been years for us.
Walking in without a double stroller or even a purse was so liberating!

Which also meant I had zero excuse to not ride the big rides!

Agh!!

My old age doesn't tolerate rollercoasters very well.

But I did a few and it was fun!

And smoked them all with my score!

Another indicator of our age...

It was touch and go if we were going to sacrifice sleeping in the Provo Parade.

We figured this is what we were here for, lets embrace the whole experience!

We pushed our way in and found a decent spot amongst the hoards of people!

Acai bowls for breakfast slapped.

Toy Story 4 or is now at 5?

Lol!

We had an hour to kill before dinner she we played croquet at the Provo Surf Park!

Then it was time for STADIUM OF FIRE!!

Luckily found some cousins!

Brad Paisley and Nitro Circus were the main events.
A perfect combo to say Happy Birthday to America!

Second Week in Wyoming- With My Honey!

 

Casey came!!
It was the best day picking him up at
the airport along with Rusty and Weston.

We spent the week doing more fun things!

It felt like a winter day, wearing sweaters and wrapping up in blankets.

Being lazy felt so nice!

My dad and his passion for this pizza oven.
Even shipping dough balls straight from New York City!

He had the process down pat!

A soggy group picture in the rain before they took off for home.

These big boys wearing helmets and gliding in unison made

me feel like I was at the Olympics!

I snap a picture of them on the porch swings every time we come up.

Aint this precious!

The cutest snuggle puppies.

We had to leave our house since my cousin and his family who we share the house with

was coming up. 

We got to bunk up at my parents for a few nights with Christophers family!

Continuing with good food!

We took a longer horse ride that led us into the mountains!

We had to break up into 2 groups. 

Rusty was with the first group.

Casey and I took the girl group which was 30 minutes behind them.

Floating the river!

This ended up being adventurous with boards tipping and

kids screaming thinking they were going to float away forever.

We are used to paddle boarding with cactus, not pine trees!

Loved ending my nights by the cozy fire.

Golfing for the boys.

Spotting deer.

The extended Lindbloms came over for an impromptu brunch of biscuits and gravy!

Grandmother and Grandad would have been proud. 

Its funny how we see our cousins in Wyoming more often than we do at home.

Kite flying in the glorious weather.

Then it was time to hit the road back to Utah for some 4th of July festivities!

The American flag ready for the parade was a perfect touch as we drove our way out.
