Ah, what a fabulous Fourth of July we enjoyed this year! We got to enjoy a parade, set off fireworks, and watch a firework show, all with cousins in Salt Lake City. Being with family makes any holiday more fun, and this was no exception. Thanks for hosting us once again, Perkes and Heiner families!
Waiting for the parade to start. It was slightly drizzly - a nice change from previous years when it's been scorching.
Poor Alex had a run-in with a much bigger kid at Lagoon - this is actually after a few days' healing.
Brandy & Mason - what cuties.
The kids kept getting passed up by the candy-throwers....look at the pouting....
...little did they know that since we were at the end of the parade route, the candy-throwers would be tossing bucket-loads at them by the end.
Valarie, Alex, & Nicole.
Setting off fireworks. Oooh, the shock and awe!
Wade wields the propane torch.
Poor Kenley was a bit too surprised by a loud one.
Good ol' snakes. The kids decided they were boring.
Sweet Ellie.
