Oh Say Can You See?

This past weekend Sean and I went to Los Alamos for the fourth of July. We left at 2:30 Friday afternoon and arrived at 12:30AM. Holy cow was I tired:) We spent the day Saturday doing all kinds of festive things. We went to the local carnival where we helped with snow cones and watched an adorable parade. We played tennis, watched the Music Man, had a fantastic BBQ, and lit some pretty spectacular fireworks. Sean and I wore matching t-shirts

Sunday was a perfect day! We went to church in the morning. I know I have sung all three verses of the Star Spangled Banner before but I don’t think I have ever been so touched by the third verse. You should definitely sing it soon, it seems to truly encompass what our country stands for.

Sean’s little brother was ordained an Elder right after church, it was amazing to be there to see!

We went to the local firework show on Sunday night. We walked over at 8:45 and got amazing seats, then the show started at 9:00. We laid on a blanket under the stars for a 20 min show of spectacular fireworks set to the 1812 Overture.

We had to come home yesterday. It was such a fun weekend and we are so excited to have many of the Peterson’s next weekend for Kaden’s baby blessing!
