Ryan and Rachele's 4th of July

So Ryan and I went camping with his parents and a couple of his siblings. We camped at the best site in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The camp site sits along side a beautiful river and our site was next to a mini waterfall. We bbq'd steaks, cooked up some s'mores, and sat around the campfire. In the morning we went on a hike to White Pine Lake. It's an 8 mile round trip hike, and it was pretty difficult. We climbed from 7100 feet to 9300 feet in about 3 miles. The first mile was easy, which was very deceiving. The final destination was worth it though. It was the greenest trail I've ever seen. There were tons of wild flowers in bloom, and you walked along streams and rivers the whole way. It was great fun. We're now getting ready to go to the Freedom Festival in Downtown Provo. We were going to see Live Free or Die Hard, but Ryan's family wanted us to show them around the Festival, so we'll just have to wait to see the movie. Well, enjoy the pictures.

P.S. Notice in one of the photos that I'm wearing my Life is Good Shirt. I got the picture for you mom.
