Fourth, Family, Fun & Friends!!

Over the Fourth of July we headed to Lander, WY (which is my home town), with alot of good friends and family. It was an amazing weekend. Probably one of my favorite Fourths to date. The interesting thing about Wyoming, is that everyone joys in having huge fireworks that they set off themselves.. making the Lander Skyline really something to see! But what also makes it interesting, it that there are so many fireworks going off, that many things tend to go up in flames.. and trust me - you do NOT want to be driving down the roads at night time :) . The night before the Fourth, we always go see the 'Bill's Fireworks' which are put on by a man in our town from our old ward there. They are so amazing and he really makes you realize WHY we are celebrating. There are most likely double the amount of people there over the Fourth for this reason.. going from around 7000 people to over 10000 people!

These are pictures of the Skyline on the night of the 4th!

Aww so cute - all of our family and friends ! @ Tony's Pizza in Lander

We decided to go swimming in Thermopolis on the Fourth after the parade. We haven't been there in forever and it was a blast!! Jack is a little afraid of the water, but I think if we work with him a little each day - hopefully he will get over that fear :( . Our friends little boy on the other hand - is fearless. He even went down the slide (mostly by himself), with a big grin on his face - and he is only 1 years old! LOL. Here is a picture of our friends that came with us. Sorry guys - I stole this picture from your blog!

So before we headed up to Lander, we got to hang out with some Family in Logan, UT. Here are some cute pictures of all of us.

We were lucky enough to come have them stay with us for a little over a week! How fun! I thought Diego and Jack would play together the best - But Jack and Danny were having the time of their lives playing with cars and frisbees
