This post isn't going to be nearly as patriotic as it sounds. But, it is about what we did on the 4th of July, so that's how it ties in. Mike and I celebrated our anniversary by leaving the kids with my parents all day on the 4th and spending the whole day jeeping through the mountains. We went up East of Park City on the back side of the Wasatch mountains and visited the Upper Provo River Falls and Mirror Lake. It was beautiful and peaceful and serene and romantic! Mike really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary in the jeep, because with the top off it is too loud to talk to each other. That is totally his kind of bonding! :) So here are a bunch of pictures of the beautiful mountains we got to enjoy without kids!
The last picture is of this beautiful, quiet little pond that we found while offroading in the jeep. It was beautiful, but there was something really eerie about the calm there, so far away from anyone or anything. Maybe it's just because I'm not an avid camper or hiker who is used to being so high in the pristine mountains, or maybe it was my sixth sense, but I felt like we were a little too close to nature for comfort, I felt something ominous close by--a bear, a mountain lion, or. . . . . .vampires! Okay, not vampires, but I told Mike we had to get outta there because I was feeling pretty vulnerable. Mike thought I was being silly, but he was hoping that it would convince me to let him get a rifle. Nice try!
I am really grateful for the beautiful mountains nearby. There is so much beauty all over in these mountains. I like the occasional hike, but I gotta admit, I enjoy the mountains just as much from the jeep. We're more "at one" with nature when the top's off!

That is hilarious that Michael liked the loud Jeep so he wouldn't have to talk. I guess me and him are kind of the same. Just nothing to say most of the time.
I love me some mountains! Good pictures!
