Happy 4th of July

This year we spent the 4th of July in Balnding. We had a GREAT time and enjoyed being with family. We traveled there going through Paige, AZ and Monument Valley. We had a Great time and took lots of pictures on the drive there. We left Thursday morning, and enjoyed a beatiful drive with a little rain storm.





On Friday we went with most of the family for "the loop" ride. Which took us to Goosnecks and some other pretty places. We enjoyed all of the pretty views but most of all the company of family. After the ride we all went back to Jayne's to do Racu, which is painting pottery. We had a great time doing this and ended up with some really cool pots, unfortunatly I did not take any pictures.





Saturday was the day of celebration! And no 4th of July is complete without a parade and fireworks. We had a lot of fun at the parade and especially enjoyed watchings the nieces and nephews being so excitted!

















On Saturday afternoon we went for a 4-wheeler ride to San Juan Hill, where the Whole in the Rock Pioneers crossed. It was a difficult part of the trip with steep and slick rocks. I wish I would have had my camera to capture such a neat spot. We also saw some other things the Pioneers had left behind and an indian moki. It was a really neat history lesson and a fun ride. On Sunday before we left Balnding Devin was able to brake out his 45 and do a little shooting. We had a fun time and enjoyed our trip.
