YAY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY!

Brian and I went to Gunlock, Utah for the 4th of July. It is a small town about 25min outside of St. George. We had a lot of fun hanging out with family and good friends. Ok there are A LOT of pictures so enjoy!

First order of business was the Gunlock parade











Next we decided to take in the scenery by going on the quads







Then our good friends Hyrum and Gail Smith gave us great tickets to see The Sound Of Music at the Tuacahn outdoor amphitheater. It was awesome! There was a firework show afterward then I took a picture of the cute little girls in the play.






The next day we got up early and went to breakfast a little cafe. Next we headed into to St. George to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Giles in the hospital (my Grandma fell and broke her hip, I think she hit her lip on the way down, it was HUGE! People say I look like her so I guess that is a sneak peak at what I will look like at 86 years) and show Brian the house I lived in when I was younger.







That night we went to the 49th annual Gunlock Rodeo. The kids had free range to the candy bar Good times!








The next day it was time to drive home and Brian and I decided to take the long way to avoid traffic through Vegas and the Hoover Dam. Boy were we glad we did, the weather was lovely, there was no traffic and we made it home 3 1/2 hours earlier than my parents who drove through Vegas!

Oh my gosh it looks like you as fun of a 4th as we did. Wish we could have seen you guys though, that would have been a blast. I love how in your parade pics there is a guy that looks like he is walking a cow. Rock on Utah!
