Independence Day!

In my humble opinion, this was our best Independence Day we've ever had. Here is a recap.

On July 3rd, the kids went to the annual neighborhood event where the firefighters come and spray water and let the kids run in it.

On the 4th we started the morning with a "bike parade." The kids got to decorate their bikes and then they rode through the neighborhood. It was so cute and so much fun.






For lunch we went to the park and met the Walker family and ate good food and played some games.







After a while a huge storm blew in and it started dumping rain. We huddled under our canopy to wait it out...well at least most of us did, Lydia and Austin could not resist venturing out into the rain. We loved it so much because this happened a few years ago on the summer range and we all had to huddle under a little tent and wait it out. We had a little more space this time, but it was still so fun. We really enjoyed the time with Scott and Lori, Melissa and Blake and Jake who stopped by for a bit. 



Next we headed to my parents house and let the kids play for a bit while we visited. It was also great, because Austin just learned to go down the fireman's pole and was so excited that now he could do it in the treehouse at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I was so proud of him. 





We headed home after that. The kids were so excited for fireworks and once they heard them outside we let them start watching from the window before they came outside to watch the Lehi City Fireworks.





We finished the night with sparklers.



Happy 4th of July!
