.:24th of July:.

Here in Utah, the 24th is a holiday, so we took advantage of Josh having the day off and headed up into the mountains to do some hiking. 

We had never done the hike, so we had no idea how easy or difficult it was. It turned out to be quite the hike - especially for one pregnant lady and three young kids! The girls were rockstars, though! Even though it was steep, and rocky, and tiring, they did really awesome. There were a few tears along the way, but nothing like I would have expected from them. Josh and I took turns carrying Rem and Harp on a couple of the tougher parts (super fun while pregnant) but it was never for very long. I was really proud of them, and it was a gorgeous hike!

On our back down the canyon, we stopped off at a campground to roast some hot dogs and marshmallows. It was tasty and fun!

Afterwards it was home for tubs and more fireworks! It was a lovely day spent together as a family!
