4th of July Trip

We had a great 4th--we BOTH got to go down to Orange County and spend the long weekend with Nathan's family, and we got to see my family too! It was awesome. Though Nathan had to work a bit while we were there, we still had a great time. Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays because: it's in the summer, usually means being outside with some sort of water, awesome bbqs, fireworks, and reflecting on how blessed we are to be in this country is such a great reason to celebrate! Here are some pics:

At an Angels Baseball game. Angels lost, but there were fireworks after the show!

haha. This is me with my little sister Maren. Neither of us were ready for this one, but I think it's a cute candid. And, it has watermelon in it, which makes every summer photo complete :)
