I love the 4th of July. It is by far my most favorite holiday! I love the food, hanging out with family and friends, the time of year, and most importantly celebrating our countries independence. I love patriotic songs. It makes me so happy I live where I do and have the freedoms I enjoy. I had to speak in Church a couple of weeks ago on "The Inspired Documents of our Country". I about pooped my pants when I was told that was the topic I had to speak on. But I am so grateful it was, because I learned so much, and it made me appreciate the 4th of July holiday this year even more. 
We went to the stadium to watch the Fireworks. It was really fun. James had a mission companion here from the Dominican Republic and we thought it would be fun to take him, so our whole family went.

Watching the Fireworks
That weekend we also went to the pool, and went to the canyon for a cookout with my family. It was really fun, and exactly what I love to do this time of year. On Monday the 4th, we did some stuff at home and then later that night went to our neighbors for a BBQ, games and fireworks. It was so much fun to get to know our neighbors better!
