July 4th

July 4th!

Lemon-Blueberry Streusel Pie in the making. A guy from work made this and shared it with us. It was so good, so we decided to make it for the holiday.

We biked the Mapleton Canal trail and made it clear to the end with the girls. Zoey was with me in the trailer.

A Utah Valley dirty drink from Fiiz drinks in Mapleton to cool off.

Fireworks time!

We drew a crowd with the neighborhood kids.

Happy Independence Day!

Santaquin Peak and Loafer Mountain

Santaquin Peak is definitely one of the most prominent peaks on the southern end of Utah Valley. It was a very enjoyable hike to the top and had a terrific view of the valley.

Proud flying flag on this 4th of July weekend.

I decided to double up and do Loafer Mountain as well. It had a really great view of Birdseye.

I almost had the mountain to myself…
