The 4th of July was spent in the town of Bridgeport, CA. It is a small town America stop with lots of gold rush history, and my uncle lives there. It has a western charm and is still full of cowboy hats, fishermen and historic buildings--it is far different from Orange County! We had a mainstreet parade, along with a watermelon eating contest (Carter almost won for the 5 year olds!), a greased pole climbing contest for the kids (my nephew almost got the prize money at the top), snow cones at the Jolly Cone, a bbq and hours of fireworks both on the lawn and the show over the nearby reservoir.
While at June Mountain, we hiked, the boys fished, we visited the lake, we relaxed, and life was deliciously slow. Enjoy the pictures!

Hiking--the boys did really well!
Micah's first visit to SNOW! He liked to throw it.

Love this little guy!
Love both these boys!

We found a park!
All the activities on the 4th happen on the Court House lawn.
That was a great trip! Clearly I need to be taking some more pictures with you in them...
