Free splash!!

There's a new place right behind the Highland City Building, where the kids can play around in the water.........and its FREE!! In the picture below, they also have water shooting up out of the ground (in the circle), but I guess its only turned on during certain times of the day.

We were the only ones there for a while & so the kids ran around like crazy!

Lana loved climbing on the rocks & getting sprayed!

Kaleb enjoying laying in the water & feeling the current pass by.

Kolby just enjoyed sitting in it & enjoying the cool water.

And of course, Andy figured that when you cover one hole with your foot, it adds more pressure to the others, so he can spray us........FUNNY HONEY!!

And this is how the Nielsons love to cool off!!

4th of July FUN!!

We started the weekend by going to Provo for 'Freedom Days' - we enjoyed entertainment, food, booths & rides. We also got to see the car show - Kaleb liked the army truck.

The next morning we went to the 4th of July Parade.



The kids favorite things to see are the drummers in the school bands, the cool floats and balloons.

Mine & Andys favorite parts - the Liahona Band & dancers........and of course, the Provo Mission float - we LOVE missionaries!

After we took naps & the kids swam in the pool, we had Ela's birthday BBQ........with an indoor pinata (ha ha).

Then we went to Grammy & Papas neighbors home for a big party with bouncers!

Debbie, Lana & Lydia enjoyed the slide.....

.......while Kaleb loved the trampoline & entertainment.

We ended the night enjoying the Thanksgiving Point fireworks display.

We hope that everyone had a fun & safe Independence Day - what a wonderful country we live in!!
