For the week of 4th of July, my "baby" sister Sophie flew in for a taste of Utah. She is 17 and hoping to move up to Utah next year, so of course along with a tour of one of the college campuses we also had to do outdoorsy Utah things. Mind you, I was around 31 weeks pregnant at this point, so we had to keep it tame. Dallin and I had hiked the .7 mile Rocky Mouth Falls trail a few weeks before, and it was pretty enough that I decided to take Sophie there as well. In addition to this, we got a bakery lunch and walked around Sundance Resort, played games with our sister Olivia, and watched a few manga that Sophie recommended. For the Fourth of July, she helped me make several festive treats including sugar cookie bars decorated to look like an American flag, and then we had a BBQ at my in-laws' followed by an evening watching fireworks from above the valley.
