fourth of July!

We had fun celebrating with Morgan and Tom Skeen and Sandy Money this year in Phoenix: just a chill day and night eating hot dogs, Morgan's amazing strawberry cupcakes, and any berry you could think of, playing games, being entertained by Frederick and watching the most amazing fireworks display I've seen since 2004 (when my cousin and I, in Gainesville, FL, snuck past the gate that you're supposed to stay far away from and watched fireworks LITERALLY over our heads. So freaky and awesome.)

THE FOURTH!!!

I am finally posting photos of the 4th of July. This was THE BEST DAY ever. We went to church and had an awesome/super crazy testimony meeting and my FAMILY was there, yahoo! Then we rode the metro downtown to the mall where the ACTION WAS. We are awesome. No traffic because we drove to the end of the green line and took it in from there. EVERYONE and his dog and grandmother was on the red line. Suckers!

Air and Space Museum!!

so awesome! our bodies in in-fared. super hot/scary.

armpits! and we weren't even sweating!!!

Dad and his son

We just have to do it. Every fourth of July! People thought we were SUPER crazy. They were taking pictures of us...

Getting ready for the show. Look at the red, white, blue SKY!

Here's where the fireworks begin. THEY. WERE. SPECTACULAR. It was super awesome with the Washington Memorial in the foreground. These are a few of my favorite shots. I know there are a lot, but aren't they BEAUTIFUL????

Really gets me in the patriotic spirit.

Tons of people rushing into the metro afterward....they

are all headed to the red line...but not us, HEHE!

Worn OUT

Mad because they made us get off the train, but too HAPPY to be mad!

AND THEN!!! The WHOLE train broke out singing Patriotic songs!!!! MOST INCREDIBLE THING EVER!! I'm going to put up a video I have of it!!!

God Bless America, land that I love

We've been having so much fun with the Money Family. MANY pictures to come. This past weekend many of the Nesbits came to Rockville to Temple/BBQ/Party. Not a better or deeper feeling exists than being in the temple with my dear family.

Last night we went downtown to DC to see the fireworks. It was BEAUTIFUL with the Washington Monument in the foreground. We sang patriotic songs with our entire SUPER CROWDED metro train home. Then Dad drove us all to Pitman, New Jersery, where we are currently. Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos are delicious.

This morning was the super fun parade (small town parades are the greatest and this one was the best in quite a few years), and now more BBQing. I love family. I love summer. I love FOOD. I love traveling. I love rice crispie treats. so much.

Happy 5th of July!!!!!
