When our older boys were in our high school marching band, they would march in the big 4th of July parade. We would feel obligated to go even though finding a good place to watch the parade is a major hassle. The crowds are just way too big. But now we don't have anyone in marching band so we have a little more flexibility in our activities.

| Our whole group, except for me |
This year we did a hike to Stewart Falls which is a trailhead on the Alpine Loop between the American Fork and Provo Canyons. It's a great destination hike with just the right amount of challenge for our family. It's about 2 miles one way. Our youngest needed to be carried a lot but otherwise we had no difficulty. The main problem with the hike is that it is a little too popular, especially in the summer. We started on the trail about 8:30am and saw very few people on the way in. However, on the way back it was much more crowded.

| This is my brother taking the plunge |
We went with my brother, his brother-in-law, and a few of his children. The "in" thing to do this year was to run under the waterfall. The water is very cold but the weather was very hot so, if you don't mind hiking back in soggy shoes, the water felt refreshing. But I didn't actually do it so I'm just telling you what I heard.
