Fourth of July

I love the 4th of July since I get to be a piro. There is something about watching fireworks that gives me a thrill and an appreciation for my country! We had a really good 4th. It pretty much started on the 3rd since Whitney got to stay up late and watch the YW do fireworks. I think she was more excited that she got to play with the neighbor kids than she was about the fireworks! We started out our day by going to the Provo Freedom Festival which was a little to packed for my taste - but I got a snowie and some toasted almonds - so no complaints here!

Tavis was so good at the festival - I think he likes chaos. It was funny to watch him reach for everything in sight - he even got to my snowie a couple times without me knowing. I gave him the paper from my roasted almonds and that provided a good 15 min of entertainment - a secret I learned from Lori & Spencer.





We ended by taking whitney on some rides. She loved the rides at first but pretty soon the sleep deprivation kicked in and she cried during the next couple rides. So after a long nap we played volleyball with the neighbors and then did some more fireworks. It was a nice somewhat relaxing day - I'm always happy when my husband gets a day off!




Here is whitney with her firework of choice - smoke balls!
