The Fourth of July

The 4th of July has always been my very favorite holiday. And this year didn't disappoint! We started out the weekend early Thursday morning when we drove to our family reunion in Nevada. We do this reunion every other year over 4th of July weekend and it is so fun. It is a huge reunion, it is all of my grandmas cousins! Which makes for a lot of people....We had a blast at it though. I practically had to drag Jake home...we ended up driving the 5 hour drive at midnight because he was so afraid he would miss some shooting, hiking, 4-wheeling, arrowhead hunting, or something. 

Some of you may wonder how I camped for 4 days in a tent...7 months pregnant. Well normally it is just a deal with the uncomfortableness type thing, but my awesome uncle showed up with a mattress for our tent! Not an air mattress, a real mattress. We slept awesome! 

We did Face Painting, hair coloring, bingo, all kinds of activities for the kids. 

And adults apparently :)

Even got grandma in on the fun 

After we got back early Monday morning Jake and I went to some booths did some baby shopping and then we headed to Morgan for their 4th of July celebration. We of course started it off with some Patriotic Tangees from Steph's and some of their awesome fries....ahhh love their fries. Then we headed to the high school for the Jon Schmidt concert that the city put on. It was so good! My dad was the MC for it so we got front row seats :) and to meet him. He is so awesome. 

He is such a fun performer to watch! I wish so bad that it would let me upload the video that we took. 

Then we watched the Morgan Firework Show, they ended up actually having some technical difficulties though it only lasted about 3 minutes...oh well, it was still fun. 

Once again blogger wouldn't let me upload a video...so I can't show you the actual video that we took of him playing, but here is a YouTube video of him playing one of our favorite songs.
