The Fourth of July!

The parade!
I'll start off by saying that the 4th of July is by far my favorite holiday! No presents to buy, lots of family get togethers, BBQ's, parades, and fireworks! This year did not disappoint! We started the day off with the Kaysville parade. Way fun, but SO hot! We sat with York, Jenny, and her family. We met at my mom's following the parade for a BBQ and to let the "kids" play with the water toys. Then out comes York, and Matt soon after, to show the kids a little about the slip-n-slide! So funny to watch grown men try to out do eachother on the slip-n-slide! I thought I'd die laughing! The girls loved playing in the kiddie pool, and Beck was content playing with a soccer ball on the trampoline. Every 4th, we meet the same group of people in the same spot to watch the fireworks. My grandpa makes homemade rootbeer (the best!) and we make rootbeer floats. I LOVE the fireworks! It's a time where I run into old friends, hang out with family, and enjoy the whole atmosphere of the 4th of July. The only downside this year was having an almost 4 year old who wanted everything that people were walking around selling. She already had a glow necklace on, so she set her sights on these butterfly wands that light up, change colors, and best of all, sing the world's most annoying high pitched "song" in Chinese. We told her no, but peer pressure set in when everyone else was buying them for their girls. We totally caved. We are now the proud owners of a toy that guaranteed won't make it through the week! We all watched the fireworks with Beckett commenting, "fireworks go boom! firworks go pop!" with EVERY single one fired! It couldn't have been a better night!
