1. Christmas
2. Halloween
3. 4th of July!
I love everything about it. The parades, the red, white, and blue attire, the fireworks, the patriotism, the barbecues, the festivals, and just the general focus on family and friends. I love it all!
Jeremy and I started our day off by going to the Fourth of July Parade in Murray. We found a nice little shady spot to set up our chairs which made a world of a difference! Shade vs. sun during an hour and a half parade really makes or breaks the experience. I just have so many memories of having a headache on the 4th of July just from being out in the sun all day and not drinking enough water.
After the parade we went to a new coffee shop that opened near Liberty Park called Amour Cafe. It was their grand opening so they still had some kinks to work out but it was a cute little shop! I had a yummy chai latte and Jeremy got his usual, a flat white.
We then went home to have a barbecue with my family. Homemade hamburgers will always beat out anything else. After the barbecue, Forrest, Jeremy, and I went to Seven Peaks to spend the hot hours of the day. It was surprisingly a lot busier than I thought it would be! I think I'm just used to going during good times of the week when it's not crowded that I forget it can be busy. The longer we stayed, the more the crowds died down and it was nice to just ride a bunch of the waterslides quickly.
We went to the Sugarhouse Park to watch the fireworks. There were seriously thousands of people there! So many people go and it's such a fun thing to just walk around and see all the cute families and groups of friends there together. Some of Jeremy's sibling met up with us at the park and we played some card games while we waited for it to get dark. The fireworks were so fun and such a nice show!
Overall, it was such a fun 4th of July and will be a nice little memory of our first holiday spent together. :)
