Happy 4th of July!

We spent our 4th of July weekend in St. George and it was hot, hot, hot! It was between 110 and 115 degrees every day so we spent most of our time either in the air conditioned condo or in the pool. It was awesome! We usually go down with Paul's parents since it's their time share, but they were out of town visiting other grandchildren so we just went down by ourselves, and had a great time!

On the Fourth, we went to the local festivities at a park and only stayed for an hour because we were melting, but it was great! Penny got her face painted (with a pink butterfly, her specific request), we bought a ticket for her to ride the swings, we watched some bad karaoke, and called it good.

Paul was so nice to wait with Penny in the hot sun in the long line for the swings.

She loved it! She just kept saying "Wheeee!" the entire ride.
They had yummy food stands at the park but we opted for a nice air-conditioned restaurant. These girls were so giggly and cute during lunch. They really are best friends.


And that's all the pictures I took! We didn't even see any fireworks because the girls were wiped out (and maybe we were, too) so we just put them to bed at their usual time and watched a movie. But I think they had a great Fourth anyway. We spent a bunch of time in the pool and generally lazed around and relaxed. It was great!
