Our traditional Independence Day with the Clarks was fantastic! They were able to come up to Flagstaff and spend the night and day with us. We watched a hot dog eating contest, and I decided there is nothing nastier than that, but we are SO doing one next year! We knew that fireworks in the White Mountains would have a chance of not happening since the weather has been so dry, so when Kayla and Kallam extended an invite to witness "fireworks way better than Show-Low" in Winslow, we absolutely took them up on the offer! Oh. my. goodness. I thought Show-Low was great, but now Show-Low is nothing! Winslow's show was so long that they had an intermission. We almost died of joy. I think we lost our hearing for the night, and the next day I had firework dust-junk in my eye that had me writhing all day, but it was so worth it! Oh my gosh. I just can't even explain them! We love Winslow. Next year we've decided to barbecue there, bring a truck with a in it to swim, and an air mattress to watch with. The Kruses have forever changed our firework-ing lives!

Oh my gosh. I forgot a story. Michelle, Zack, Jake and I went to the downtown stores to window shop and grab lunch. At one of my favorite stores, there was a KILLER necklace, and I only admired it for a few minutes because we were only window shopping. So we window shop for a few more stores after the one with the necklace, grab lunch and go to a sweet shop for some caramel apples. When I looked into my bag to grab my wallet, the necklace was in my purse. . . staring at me. No bag, no receipt. I had just stolen a necklace and I didn't have any clue how it happened. I was having a nervous breakdown to myself when I looked across a fudge bar and J was LAUGHING HIS FACE OFF! He had purchased it when I was smelling soaps, handed it off to Michelle, who then distracted my by asking how heavy my bag was. . . oh my word. It was the most frightening moment I've experienced in a chocolate shop! Nevetheless, the necklace is flipping awesome. I love its gaudiness and the story makes me love it forever more!
