Fourth of July

We had a nice, quiet 4th of July.  Fireworks were banned in Stansbury because of the fire risks, plus we're not quite sure if Anna's ready for how loud they are.  She already freaks out with the Emergency Broadcast tests every Wednesday out here.
We started off the day with breakfast at Denny's.  Steve always takes us out on holidays to give me a little holiday from cooking.  We had fun in a mostly empty restaurant, eating yummy pancakes and bacon.
Unfortunately, later that morning, I did not feel very well at all.  I got all dizzy and nauseous.  I laid on the couch all morning while Anna watched cartoons and Steve played chess on the computer.  I felt much better in the afternoon.
For dinner, we headed up to Settlement Canyon.  It's just beyond Tooele and so much cooler up there than down here.  We found a nice shady site and cooked sausages for dinner.  We also ate chips and a TON of cherries.  It was funny to watch Anna try to figure out how to eat the cherry but not the pit.  We ended up with a pile of semi-chewed cherry on a napkin.
After dinner, we hiked from there back toward the entrance.  There was a little playground that we stopped at and Anna played.  Steve walked back to our dinner site to get the car.  We really enjoyed going up there.  It was nice and cool and we had a lot of fun.
