God's country right in our own backyard!

I can't believe we didn't get any pictures of Independence day!! We had a lot of fun! We had a barbecue and lit a ton of fireworks!! Our Culde-sac was booming with the whole neighborhood. I was lighting sparklers for all the kids for at least an hour and a half straight.

The day before yesterday (July 3rd) We went on an beautiful jeep ride up the Timpooneke trail past the Timpooneke trail head for hiking with some friends of ours. It is so amazingly beautiful up there. You drive from the back (East side) of Timpanogos to the front (west side) You can over look the whole Utah Valley from the front side. It is so breathtaking!! These pictures we took don't do the scenery justice!!
We feel so blessed to have all of these beautiful places within minutes of our home. It is only a 15 minute drive to the canyon. I feel bad that I murmured so much about all the June rain but our Mountains are so green now and we really needed the moisture.
