Rainy 4th

It rained in Vegas! It was the first rain we've seen since we moved here in April. And of course, it just happened to be on the fourth of July.

Before the rain, we all went to the Summerlin Parade. 

During the rain, we went to Cafe Rio for lunch, played games, watched a movie, and took a couple of naps. 

After the rain, we went on base to see the fireworks, and Jon showed us the F16!

Unfortunately I only brought a camera along for the after-rain-festivities. 

It really wasn't bad, overall. I mean, it definitely seemed bizarre to spend the majority of the fourth indoors, but how can you complain about rain in a place like Vegas?

Philly-delphia

My cousin McKell and her baby Bridger came to visit. We decided to go to Philadelphia and see a few historical gems. Like...

The Liberty Bell

The National Constitution Center

The Senate and House of Representatives Meeting Rooms

George Washington

and Benjamin Franklin...

...Among other things.

We kept it short and sweet

Yay for America!
