We had a fabulous Fourth of July weekend! Thursday night we went to the Oakley Rodeo with the Fraziers. It's supposedly the best and we were sure entertained. Friday, Ryan got off a little early and we hiked with the Heightman's to Lake Mary. It was a steep hike, but a beautiful place at the tops of the mountains. That night we went out and had our own 5 minute fireworks show. Saturday, we had every meal at a different house - thanks friends! That night we went to the Bee's game and fireworks show. It was fun until it went into 3 or 4 extra innings (I lost track). Even though the fireworks didn't start until 11:30 they put on a great show with patriotic music. It brought tears to my eyes. We even saw fighter jets fly over that morning. I commented how lucky we are that fighter jets aren't scary here. We are truley blessed to be Americans!

Ruthie and Melanie kept each other entertained the whole time!
