Our Fourth of July was pretty laid back. In the morning RB got another project half way done. He tilled the garden. Now we just need more dirt to fill it in and then we can till gain to be done with it.
The girls went to a friends house and played most of the day so we had lots of Buddy Boy time. He is so funny how he keeps coming back for more tickles.
That night, after a great skirt steak dinner, the girls watched a movie while we played a game. After we were getting the kids to bed when RB comes in from outside and says, "Get the kids we are leaving for a bit." I knew instantly there was a fire somewhere. This is the view from our back porch. It was about a block away and it ended up only being a shed. Luckily the fire department was super fast and as far as we know no houses caught on fire.
After the smoke was gone I went with the girls to see the fire trucks. I know this picture isn't the best but you can see the fire truck on the left and more fire works on the right. When we left we headed another block away from it and stopped to talk to some ward members. Once the smoke was cleared we headed back. Better to be safe than sorry especially this year with all the wildfires and homes that have already been burned.
It was a good Fourth. I'm glad it was a lazy one. I needed a day to relax. I'm so grateful to live in America with all my freedoms. Happy Birthday America!
