The fourth of July

~ Etc.

On the fourth of July we went to Heber City to attend a birthday bash for our friend Aaron.  Aaron married Liz, my friend from college just the day before!  
we took about 30 pictures and these two were the best ones, if you could even call it that.  I refused to bribe them to get decent pictures and maybe I should have!
then…… the camera battery died.  ARGH!  So here’s some pictures I took from my phone.
all the guests received Teva water shoes.  Aaron and Jay won’t admit it but I think Jay and Aaron called each other the night before to coordinate their socks so they could be matchy matchy.  So tender….
Then we came home to do some fireworks!  Jay loves fireworks and would have bought 3x more if I had let him.
pooping dog!  look at the dog’s face! hahaha
poor achilles hid from the fireworks.  he was shaking uncontrollably, poor guy!
This is how I watched the fireworks.
I hope you had a wonderful fourth of July!  I love my country and am so grateful for our freedom.
