July Fourth

We went to a Jensen family reunion.

Taylor and I were both sick all last week and took turns taking care of each other.  I came home early from work one day and he tucked me into bed after making me crackers and soup.  We also ate lots of peppermint candies wherever we went.

Poor Taylor had to do a long surgery until 4 am before the Fourth of July and I didn't see him for a while so I made sure to write him a note telling me to wake up when he came home.

We spent the Fourth of July celebrating being free by recouping from our illness (we were still sick) and taking a nice walk around Pioneer Park.  They had boats, and Ferris wheels, and a water park, and a bird zoo, and so much more!  We just walked around and had fun.  Then we ate at Smash Burger to get our July 4th burger.

The morning of July Fourth we ate pancakes that I made with my special ingredients...cinnamon and butterscotch chips
See all our peppermint candies in the background?
At night we hiked up to the mountain to see the fireworks across the valley and eat ice cream since it was so hot.

The mountains would give great views! That was a good idea!

Wow! What a fun 4th! The view of the fireworks in the valley are gorgeous! I've never had cinnamon and butterscotch chips in pancakes! That is very creative! You guys sure have fun in the kitchen! Love you! Mom
