4th of July

We had a great time up in Pinetop for the 4th of July! The weather was awesome, in the 80's with occasional rain, and even a pretty good hail storm. I love the rain, and the girls love running around in it. Several of Scott's aunts, uncle, and cousins were there as well, and it was really good to see them. They showered the kids with love and attention, and the girls had so much fun with Scott's cousin Leah. We went to the annual 4th of July parade in the morning, where the girls scored tons of candy, and then had a BBQ with the whole family in the afternoon. That night we went to the football field for the fireworks, and they were amazing! All 4 of the kids loved them, and the twins didn't get scared at all. The rest of the weekend we just hung out, went to the park and fed the ducks, and of course watched the UFC fights on Saturday night. And what would a road trip be without a good old fashioned speeding ticket?! We got caught on our way up the mountain, and I was kind-of insulted that the cop gave us a ticket because he is the father of boy/girl twins as well, and there is a certain courtesy that should have been shown! Not really, but it would have been nice to get off with just a warning.

As fun as it is to get away, it is always nice to get back home and back into a routine. I have another exciting week at school and then my big sister Summer is coming this weekend. It will be so fun to see her! I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July!
