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!!
