4th of July

We took the opportunity this year to take the kids up to Harding's Haven for the Harding family reunion and fireworks at Bear Lake.  It did mean that after a long driving day, we slept and drove again.... but I think it was worth it.  I loved seeing fireworks at the lake as a kid.  I haven't been up for at least 17 years, so it was fun to do it again.  You bring your fireworks and you watch the entire 360* of the lake with their ariels.  It was fun.  We did forget to remind our kids to bring their jackets so they were all wrapped up in dry towels and Seth cuddled with me in my jacket.  He told me very sweetly, "Mom, I think I'll have firework dreams tonight."  Usually the Harding week is packed, so I didn't think there'd be room for us to camp so we rented a 'room'.  The only thing we found withing 20 mins were the covered wagons they rent out for glamping.  It was fun.  One wagon fit our whole family and it had a little heater in it.  We had it on right before bed, for a few minutes in the middle of the night and in the morning.  We woke up at 6:30 so that we could get Ada back home in time for her shift at lunchtime.  Ada took all these firework pictures.  I took the ones with the sparklers.









We got home, got Ada washed at to work, cleaned up from our trips, napped, grocery shopping done, dinner made and D&D played.
