We had a fun trip to Southern Utah over the Fourth of July. It was a ton of fun and the kids got to play with their cousins which they loved. There were not a ton of pictures taken but it was a lot of fun.
We went to the Carter Cabin and the kids loved it. They started building a fort which they said almost kept out some of the rain. They also all got to go on 4 wheeler rides which was probably the highlight for them.
We left the cabin after the rainstorm and headed to Brian Head for fireworks. Justin wanted small town fireworks. It was pretty cool. It was cold because of the storm that came through and we all got a little wet. Once the fireworks started the kids loved it. They had four cases of fireworks and each is set up to have a "finale" type shot, so we to see what amounted to several small fireworks shows. The one that was Justin's favorite was one of the finale shots that also featured a lightening bolt in the background. His other favorite was the one that exploded short and pretty much directly over and on top of the front row of spectators (there wasn't much of a drop zone perimeter) or the one that shot off into the nearby trees which the people next to us assured us was okay because that was where the fire station is at. :)

The other big activity was bike riding at Brian Head. We rode the lift up and biked down. Well, I only did it once and didn't even ride the whole way. The boys did a couple of rides without me. I do not recommend this for one of your first mountain biking experiences. It was beautiful, when I wasn't going so fast that I could actually see the area I was riding through. It was also very bumpy and there were lots of rocks on a very narrow trail. That's my summary.
One more activity, Sam got to go golfing with Grandpa and Dad. He loved it he told me when he came home. I was surprised until he told me why, he got to help drive the golf cart. He played caddy for Grandpa and Dad and has since asked me when he gets to go golfing again. :)
