The 4th of July

I had an incredible time in UT for the fourth! I'm so glad I went.

There are a few thing that I require in order for my fourth of July to be a hit...it involves a morning run, pool time, good food, and of course a killer fireworks show.

This is a pic of me after the Layton 5k.

Then Megan and her sister, Melanie, made us a awesome breakfast and then it was off to the pool. A bit of car time on our way. It was hot and humid. It even rained on us a little but we stuck it out for more than 2 full hours at the pool

I'm still waiting to get the rest of the pictures of the 4th from Megan Bates, that's right Megs, I'm calling you out on my blog!

The next day I met my long time friend Bryant Pettey and we went to Good Thymes for some good times for morning brunch. Afterwards I met up with Allison and Megan and we took a road trip to Bear Lake. Amazing! The water was so clear the people so nice and it was a perfect get away. We stood in line for about 30 min at this hamburger stand because all the locals said it was the best and welp...they were right. We love the guy in back of us, hello. While we waited in line we met the guys that were in front of us. They invited us to eat we them so we saddled up and hung out with three 21-year-olds. Justin, Alex and Darin it was a pleasure!

The next day it was time to enjoy the water and sun. This little Island Oasis was the talk of the day. While we were filling it up it died. It didn't get charged enough so Megan and I went to the stand at the marina and borrowed a foot pump and pumped it for about 45 min. We put it on top of the rental car and drove back to the beach with Megs and I holding it outside of our windows.

By the time we took it out on the water it was really windy and cold but for heaven's sake we put some blood, sweat and tears into it we stayed on for a good 20 min.

We were happy to deflate.
