Fourth of July

Tyler and I spent the fourth by ourselves for the first time. Since I'm in the activities committee we went in the morning to the annual ward breakfast on independence day. This one is our least favorite activity throughout the year because a lot of people from the ward are gone, it's hot, and more geared towards children. We had to go though. Tyler helped with the flag ceremony and we got to know his new counselor better. They're a new couple that recently moved into our ward, they're exactly our same ages and she's expecting their first baby. I helped clean up and we came home. We took a much needed 2 hour nap that was heavenly.

We cleaned up a little, and went to Mastergrill for dinner. We totally splurged on this meal, but it was so worth it. The last time we went was last year while Tyler's dad was visiting. We walked around the mall for a little while. It's an open air mall like the gateway in SLC and they were having lots of fourth stuff going on. We left and came home to let our puppies out, and decided to go watch fireworks at the lake. We were debating on going to a movie because of all the crowds, but didn't pass on some fireworks.

We went to The Harbor by our house. It's such a cute place. They built an outdoor mall around the lake and they have a marina there so that people with boats can park their boats there and come hang out or get some dinner. They also built a new Hilton hotel there and some luxury townhomes. We had a hard time finding parking spots and parked far, but it turned out to be a good thing in the end!! The fireworks weren't as good as we were expecting because we were further away from them than we thought we would be. But we still had fun. It was nice to spend all day together and not have to worry about much of anything.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!
