For some, the day after Fourth of July is another day off, for others it’s back to the grind. To keep the festivities rolling, let’s take a look at what some of our favorite Bruins were up to this Independence Day.
First of all, UCLA Football posted this pretty sweet graphic on Twitter to wish Bruins far and wide a Happy Fourth:
Happy #4thofJuly, Bruins! pic.twitter.com/xARGNnasoL

It isn’t Independence Day without ice cream and, while his order was a bit bland, his playing definitely isn’t.

Of course, there’s the inevitable, “Did you feel it?” was going around yesterday as California was rocked by the largest earthquake in 20 years.

While this was posted about a week ago, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include this awesome photo of our own UCLA Football alum Brett Hundley in Greece:
