Happy fourth of July!























































We had a very happy but exhausting 4th of July.  I love this summer holiday with all of the food, swimming, parades and fireworks.  

We started are day off with going to the Vernal City parade where we saw lots of tractors, horses and dinosaurs......I guess that is to be expected since we are in farm country land!  The boys even got sprayed with water and got candy thrown to them!  We then headed to McDonalds for a happy meal and headed home.  

We spent the rest of the afternoon swimming and playing in the water.  Later that evening the boys did poppers and sparklers and we only had one minor mishap with Jack burning his finger on the sparkler.  Burn cream and a band aid seemed to make it all better!  We finished the night off with heading to the park for fireworks.  We ended up sitting in the back of the truck on chairs and a blanket.  We had the perfect spot for viewing fireworks....no trees or mountains in the way.  Halfway through the fireworks Jack kept telling us he wanted to go back home and go to sleep in his bed......he had had enough!  We actually made it through all of the fireworks and within 2 minutes of driving home all three kids were fast asleep!  We had a wonderful but exhausting day.

I especially love what you did with # 4, and 14 (the ones that are antique looking - one of Ava and one of all 3 kids).
