So...it all started when we realized we had NOTHING to do on the 4th.
Being that my parents are in another country didn't make planning something to do very easy.
We racked our brains, and just in the nick of time, Jenny and the gang called to inform us that they were on their way up for dinner and the Centerville fireworks!
Much to Lucy's disappointment, the fireworks started quite late, and I won't say that she screamed, but she certainly did cry during the event.
It was a great night, and we were literally sitting right next to where they light them.
Well, after a really really late night for Lucy, we were convinced that she'd sleep through the next day...BUT I'm sure she knew it was one of my favorite holidays, and she couldn't stand to spoil the event.
She was up bright and early at 7:30, we rushed to the ward breakfast, and then hopped on our bikes to join "Aunt Jenna" at the parade!!!
Lucy is her grandmothers grandaughter...meaning that she
did love the parade.
She's just discovered that she can dance, so to my
pleasure she enjoyed the marching bands, and bag-pippers.
In search of yet another adventure, we headed off to Salt Lake, where we found ourselfs at Rubios Baja Grill.
Unless you were present 5 1/2 years ago, this would be of no particular significance to you....however, this my friends is where Jeff and I had our first date!
It was so fun to go back, and see the place, and take a really
long drive down memory lane!
The food was yummie, the company was perfect, and it was so fun to think of how far we've come, 5 years, nearly 2 kids, and a whole heck of a lot of fun later!!!!
Well, to end the weekend, or few days of hard partying, one may think that a great relaxing day was just what the doctor ordered....alas, Mel, Jeff's dad, invited us on a hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon.
This was no bring-your-flip-flops-and-fanny-pack-hike.
It was a grueling sprint up to Lillian and Blanch (?) lake.
It was breath taking beautiful.
Jeff carried Lucy the whole way,
and bless her little heart, for sitting in the pack that long, she did FABULOUS!!!
It was a GREAT hike! and we ended the weekend doing something we both love.
So, next time you think, we have nothing to do...just you wait!
It was the perfect ending to the perfect holiday!

oh what a fun weekend! Glad I could be there for part of it too!
ok... so I found your blog, then I lost it, then I found it again! Yea. Lucy is really cute.
Glad you had a great forth. Do you mind if I link you on my blog so I don't loose you again. :)
Do you remember the hike we took in high school up to the "living room?" I still have pictures of that hike. I think later on that day we posed on foothill drive.
I'm realizing, from reading your blog, that I need to take more adventures. Mike would be thrilled!
