4th of July

To celebrate Independence Day I went back up to Hanna with Kristine to spend the day with Sean and Trent.  The campground where they are staying is so beautiful and it was incredibly relaxing to listen to the river while reading.  Every once in a while a lovely breeze would blow through the trees and I was perfectly content.  Trent made the best breakfast ever on the grill: bacon, eggs, sausage, and waffles.  It was so delicious.  I always make my famous flag cake every year and this time I had a little helper who served it to everyone with great solemnity.  Once again, we had a big fire and I laughed and laughed at Sean's antics!

On the drive home we had spectacular views of the fireworks in Park City and at Sugarhouse Park.  We saw both shows without having to deal with all of the hassle!

BBQ in Hanna

On Sunday we all went up to Hanna where Trent and Sean are camping for the week to spend the day with them.  It was absolutely wonderful because the temperature was at least 30 degrees cooler than in SLC.  I loved sitting outside reading because it was so relaxing.  We barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs and had potato salad, chips, and the first watermelon of the season!  I don't know why but everything always tastes so much better outside.  Afterwards, we sat for hours around the fire talking and laughing.  It was pretty much the best day ever!

None of us wanted to leave so it was pretty late by the time we got on the road.  When we got to Parley's Canyon the traffic was backed up for over an hour because there had been a really bad accident involving several semis.  It was quite the adventure!
