4th of July Memories

I recently talked to my sister on the phone and she said, " You need to hurry and update your blog, mom is having a panic attack, she's having withdrawls." Ha ha well mom here you go, this post is for you :).

This year the 4th of July was kind of a bummer for us, which was even more of a bummer for me beacsue the 4th of July is one of my most favorite holidays besides Christmas of course :).Most our friends were out of town and it is just way way too HOT here in Phoenix to even enjoy being outside for more than 5 seconds. Although, we actually did catch a break, it was cloudy the whole day and it ended up raining! Normally I would be angry about that on the 4th but here in Phoenix I welcomed it with open arms.

We started the day bright and early and went to a ward breakfast which was fun. Then we just chilled for a few hours and later went to Smash Burger to eat, YUM. After we ate we went and saw the new Spider Man movie. It was kind of a let down, it wasn't bad it was just too much like the previous one, I don't understand why they made a new one so soon? Anyway that was our 4th, and the biggest bummer of all... I did not see one firework not one! It was dead here. I didn't even see any firework stands on the roads. My friends in the ward warned me about how boring it is here on the 4th and they were right. Conrad and I both did have the day off, it was fun being able to spend the whole day with him so it wasn't all bad :)

Here are some of the poeple and places we were missing this 4th of July...

Going to the Stadium of Fire has been a Johnson family tradition since I was little. LOVE the Stadium of Fire so many good memories.

I love when the flames shoot up and you can feel the heat on your face.

And of course the Mickelsen family parties are always so fun! We sure missed being there this year.
