4th of July Fun!

Happy 4th of July!! What a fun day we had. Nick and I decided that we would head to Sunsplash waterpark for the day. We haven't really done too much outside this summer yet, so what better day to do it then on the 4th. We got there early enough to hit up all the slides before it got to busy, and then spent the afternoon in the wave pool and lazy river. We sure got some sun (in Nick's case that is an understatement-I might have forgot to put sunscreen on his lower back..oops!).

We thought we would have a low key night, but then our friend's Garrett and Tara called and wanted to play. So we went to Waldo's BBQ for dinner--so good!!! Then we took the light rail to Tempe Town Lake to watch the firework show with everyone else in AZ. It sure was busy down there--and hot--ugh-something about it being 11pm and a 104 degrees out in a mass of people that just isn't very appealing to me anymore. In case you haven't been on the light rail yet to get anywhere downtown-you need to take it! It is so nice to not have to deal with the traffic and parking.

We had a great, long, and HOT day! We are grateful for the freedoms we have and for those that serve our country. God Bless the USA!
