Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July to all our friends and family! We hope you all had a good celebration. We had a great day. We started the day with the good old Cherry Days parade. Every year we sit in front of the Cloud's house (my parents good friends). We enjoyed the parade with the Clouds, Swans, Boyds, and Pendergasts. (For those that know my parents old friends.) And of course all of my family.

Ivy is into making silly faces for the camera lately, here is the latest.
Best Buds! Austin and Caden are 2 peas in a pod. Hunter is always in their shadow trying to be the third muskateer. They were helping each other cool off by spraying each other with water bottles, while waiting for the parade to begin. Erin was dancing for us here....trying to be like the Warriorette dancers!
After the parade we went back to our house for hoagies and more. We tried to do some daytime fireworks, but the wind was so bad that most of our parachute guys ended up on the neighbors roof! That evening we decided, with the wind as bad as it was, not to do our own fireworks. Instead, we went over to Weber High School and enjoyed their great firework show! I guess we will have to save all of our extra fireworks for a big 24th of July celebration!

Bummer that it was a windy day. Oh yeah, I forget how big the 24th of July is in Utah! They don't really celebrate it here. Sad!

What a fun day! My Erin is really into making funny faces too thanks to a segment on yo gabba gabba. I so wish we could be there on the 24th of July. The Weber State Pioneer Day Fireworks are one of my absolute favorites.
