4th of July

The forth was pretty low key this year. We woke up and went to the ward pancake breakfast. Straight from there we went to the city parade. Let me just say...Lamest parade ever!!!! Not even worth going to. The girls had fun though,so I guess that that made it worth it. After the parade we headed home. The girls and Geoff went to the pool to swim while I stayed home with Camden. Then we headed to our friends house for a little bbq and some more swimming. We also did a few little fireworks in their yard. It was a fun day spent as a family. We are so grateful for this wonderful country and the many freedoms which we enjoy!

 Macie at the parade. She was trying so hard to get some candy, but the boys were a little bigger than her and had no problem pushing her out of the way. Poor thing got a little frustrated at times.

 Addie enjoying the parade from a safe distance.

 Getting ready for fireworks. Notice how happy they are before they start!! They are already in their pj's because it was 9:30 and we still had a 30 minute drive home.

 Here is the first one. She didn't last long before she was begging to go to the car and watch from inside.

 Addie moved to Geoff's lap. It's a little more safe there.

Doing sparklers was probably the only thing that they enjoyed about the fireworks and that even took a little coaxing to get them to do that! Ha! Silly girls!
