4th Of July


So we decided to stay home at the last moment for the 4th of July weekend, but staying home didn't mean that we didn't do anything, we actually did lots. On Friday, my holiday from work, we drove up to Devils Lake and went hiking. On the way there we hit traffic so we took out the map and detoured on some smaller roads, one of which took us to a ferry to get over the river. We enjoyed the hiking at Devils Lake and the area is really beautiful. The hiking features balancing boulder features which where created by a glacier thousands of years ago, and it reminded us of the geology mystique of Utah. We are excited to go back with our canoe. We also hit up the IMAX, the parade, the ward party and two fireworks shows. Don't worry we actually got a nap in this weekend too. We wanted to show off our pics of Devils Lake so that maybe we can get some of our friends to come along next time.

The train that came by on our hike around the lake (yes we were hiking on the train tracks, but we hopped off when we heard the whistle for the train)
We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!!
