Happy Fourth!

 It was an awesome day filled with parades, family, games, good food, and fireworks to top it all off :)


My cousins and I had some competitive games of Rummikub and Bananagrams (aka Scrabble without the board). Afterwards I started to spell some big words and ended up making a huge crossword with every single tile! Not only was the crossword epic, but the words themselves were pretty impressive - xenophobia, transmogrify, reexamination, nullify, animated, intrepid, zealous, quotation, peeved, massive, and (best of all!) Jedi :)

My family's current favorite word :)

Sometimes the "Star Wars nerd" side of me comes out!

Some of my favorite words...

Oh hey, it's me!


The whole thing...sorry it's sideways.


After our family BBQ, my family headed near by to an awesome fireworks show at Thanksgiving Point! My uncle has a few buildings that he built there, and he gave us the keys so that we could watch from his roof. It was pretty much super cool :)

This is the view from the top of the building...

As I looked over all of the city lights, I couldn't help but thinking
of the song "Lights" by Journey - one of my favorites :) 



Alright, I know this is a little bit of an overkill on pictures of fireworks,
but understand that I haven't been to a big firework show in a really long time.
I couldn't help taking a lot of pictures, so of course, I now can't help posting a lot of pictures! 
                       

                       
                       
                       
I hope your 4th was a great as mine! I definitely take for granted all of the freedoms that I have been blessed with.





ps: my AP scores came today! I'm pretty sure that the Hallelujah Chorus has been playing in the background ever since :)
