in true fourth of july fashion, we headed down to richfield for the sparkly holiday weekend. kendrick's parents were doing their annual firework booth, and we committed to helping them during our stay. as weird as it sounds, i love helping in the booth, and i loved it even more this year once paul and trish let me take over merchandising. within two hours (and one adderall courtesy of james, haha) i had both trailers organized, all fireworks price tagged, and labels for everything. it was truly an ocd fanatic's dream.
when it comes to fireworks, my favorite has always been sparklers... no idea why. i still have yet to master the art of writing with them (and capturing it in a picture), but for now... this is all i got:
kendrick's dad was super sweet to get us a side by side to drive around for the weekend, so kendrick and i took a few drives up into the gorgeous richfield mountains. believe it or not, but these next two pictures were taken with the camera on self-timer, propped up against a cup holder. #skills
the morning of the fourth was spent watching the parade, of course! it was so, so hot so we didn't stay for all of it.
and of course, we got our annual picture in front of this patriotic house. three years and counting...
the weekend was also filled with some killer firework shows. one of the best shows i've ever seen was actually in a guy's backyard. kendrick and i sat near the front (probably not the best idea on our part), so every firework that was shot off completely filled the sky with sparkles. some felt so close, i found myself covering my face, haha.
thanks to richfield, the fourth of july has now become one of my favorite holidays! already counting the days until next year...
