A post for the 4Th...

Have any of you ever taken your camera somewhere and forgotten to use it? Or just got too lazy to take some pictures? Well that was me over the 3rd and 4Th . Oops! Matt and I went camping up to the ranch with my Parents, Erica & Walter. (My sisters cute little dog) I had full intention of taking some great pictures and did not. I think maybe it was the heat. We went up Thursday night and had a great little BBQ. And sat out under the beautiful starry sky. On the 4Th Matt's parents came up for breakfast it was so yummy. We made pancakes with fresh strawberries and blueberries on top and some chocolate chip banana pancakes. Mmm Mmm.. If you have never had these they are easy and good! Just mash a few bananas and add to your mixtre. Then put the mixture on the grill. While cooking the 1st side sprinkle the uncooked side with chocolate chips. Flip over and enjoy. We then sat around for a while and just talked. It was so nice to just sit and do nothing at all. Mom & Dad Conrad then went down to the house after to prepare for the party later on. Matt, Erica & I 4 wheeled a bit to cool off and then we went wading in the ponds. Brr that water was cold! It felt so goo though. Matt ended up getting us soaked. It felt great! We headed back to camp for a while to relax some more. We packed up and headed down the mountain to the house for a BBQ. It was great fun! Matt's Sister Christine announced they are having another baby :) Yeah! Congrats to them! We headed for home sweet home. Not a long trip , but a nice little getaway. Hope you all had a great 4Th! I'm so grateful for this wonderful land we live in. And for the wonderful men and women that sacrifice so much for our freedom. Thank you for all you do!
