Snowflake Temple

Before we headed home from being up in Show Low for the 4Th...we drove up to Snowflake to see the new Temple. I think it's a few years old now but it's new to us since we haven't seen it. It was so beautiful and up at the top of a hill. We loved all the red rock waterfalls...sooo pretty.

I take so many dang pictures that the kids know just what to do...it's great!

4th of July in Show Low, AZ

We decided to pack up and hit the road to get out of this heat so we could enjoy the 4Th! Every year my parents go up to the White Mountains and now I understand why. There was so much to do and so much to see. It was absolutely gorgeous up there and the weather was perfect. We stayed up at a cabin and loved smelling that pine air...so yummy:)We saw a festival at this park by the cabin and stopped to play and eat some dinner.

We heard there was a Rodeo going on and decided to go. We had no clue what a HUGE deal it was and it was so much fun! It was the kids first time and they were eating it all up! People watching was quite entertaining too!

Woohoo!!!! We love John Deere...reminds us of Iowa:)

Here we are at the parade and Ashlynn in her festive dress that Aunt Kirstin got her.

This is what the kids looked like before the fireworks....and then after...love that! What a long and fun day:)
