A Rockin' 4th of July in Salt Lake City, Utah




Last week JP and I left California in the wee hours of the morning on the way to our old stomping grounds ... UTAH! John's sister Paige from Nashville was planning on being in town for the 4th and we decided to jump on the bandwagon! The weekend was FULL of family, fun, fireworks, and food! We stayed with Lindsey and Dave and their 3 kids, Emerson, Henry and Oliver. We were also lucky enough to see Tay, Ash and Paige while we were in town. Alexa and Brad joined us for The Proposal at the Jordan Commons, and a delicious BBQ while watching fireworks from the perfect view outside of Lindsey and Dave's home.



On the 3rd of July we drove up to Kaysville for a Peterson/Berger/Servoss reunion! Sandy and Bill Berger's home was full of family from all over the country - we met up with some California cousins and there was even representation from Mississippi and Michigan! After a great dinner we made our way back to North Salt Lake and visited with Faruk and Jane Nader before watching fireworks at the Eaglewood Country Club. The fireworks were outstanding and a great preview for the next night.



During the day on the 4th we drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon to Silver Lake and went on a beautiful hike. We are always taken back by the serenity and peacefulness of the Utah mountains. It was so nice to breath air without smog!

Later that night we watched fireworks with friends and family on the Randle's back porch. It was SO much fun... We could see 5 shows at the same time! No better seat in town! After the fireworks died down we played a rousing game of Catchphrase and then of course the classic "Telephone". Emerson and Henry were in rare form with some of the telephone messages being passed around:)



We didn't want to leave! Thanks everyone for a perfect 4th of July we will never forget! It's back to the trenches of sales for both JP and Me:) Come visit us in California!
