Fourth of July

In keeping with our traditional Fourth of July traditions, we woke up early to catch the big parade. Aaron was the lucky one to wake up early to get our spot (thank you, again) and he found a nice spot under a tree so we were in the shade the entire parade...good job!

After the parade, we went to the Searle's and played all day. This is the girls favorite part of the holiday because they just get to be with their cousins all day. It gets loud and a little rowdy at times, but we wouldn't trade it for the world.

Since fireworks were banned in the Searle's neighborhood this year, we headed into Provo to watch the fireworks that were being shot off as part of Stadium of Fire. We had a great spot right on the street so while we waited we set off our own fireworks and let the kids do their sparklers. It was the way to go!
