4th of JULY

I am not too good at this blogging thing. Anyways, here it goes on me trying to catch up on the blogging world....(it might take me a while)....

Fourth of July was great!! Stuart and I debated alot on whether or not we wanted to actually into the heart of DC for the fourth. Luckily, we came to our senses though and decided we would give it a shot. I mean it could possibly be our only time that we re IN the nation's capitol on the fourth. In the morning we went to a brunch that our ward had at a park and were able to socialize and meet some more people! Even though it was right by our house we got WAY lost, typical us :). At the brunch we were so nicely invited by a couple families in our ward to go into DC with them. It was SO awesome. They knew exactly what they were doing, where to go, and even brought a TON of food. My picture does not do it justice..we had chicken, marinated green beans, fruit salad, bread, pasta salad, desserts....mmmmm.... Sis. Snow brought all the food and it was still all hot and delicious! I seriously was so impressed. We were two lucky people!! Then we all just hung out, played cards, games, took pictures, and watched an awesome firework show!!

This is of all the people, but it does not do it justice. It was packed!

Delish dinner

More people. There was a live performance by Jodee Messina and it was great! Just everyone hanging out, singing, and being patriotic.

it started to rain a little. welcome to the east coast. It's 90 degrees and raining.

This is us and Luchia. Oh she is such a little cutie and laughs at everything!

Basically the Fourth was awesome and added to our many fun adventures in DC!! Who knows...maybe we will have more fourths here! Being out here has really made us realize how lucky we are to live in this country :)
