Every Friday I’ll indulge my order-crazed brain in a list of randomness. Welcome to my Friday Fives.

Independence Day is typically a very chill holiday for us, due to a very skittish dog around certain exploding sparklies. Utah is also pretty chill about Independence Day, preferring to go all-out later this month for their Pioneer Day. Joe even had to work today. Can you believe it?

But, we made the most of the holiday. Here’s our recipe for a successful July 4th:

5. Jimmy Johns lunch

4. Hit up the pool with friends

3. Pies

(The frito chili and apple variety. #America)

2. Watch a movie about the Princess of Wales

(Where’s Team America when you need it?)

1. Cuddle with the cutest dogs in Cache Valley.

Sorry for the quick, lame-o post. Pictures and recipe to comes. Happy Fourth, everyone!!
