The Fourth

I love the fourth of July. It is probably one of my favorite holidays - mostly because it usually involves swimming and eating 14 meals. Both of which are things I like.


This year Ab was in the Kaysville Parade and loved it. When she came by we cheered and yelled and expected a huge grin and wave. Yea right, she was totally embarrassed...(but I think she secretly liked it.)
Deak loved the parade because it involved his three favorite things in the world: Free food, loud firetrucks and water. On the way to lunch with my family afterwards, he gibbered the entire way. I would like to think he was telling us all about the fun time he had. Blair even joined in the festivities by flashing the teenage boy carrying beads (he earned a handful), and taking off his shirt with the kids in the water (probably better him than me).




After a fun lunch and parade with family, we headed to a way fun swim party and BBQ with friends. Where again, Blair spent most of the time playing with the kids in the water.


After that...we chilled around home with some fun friends, ate our 14th meal, and did some driveway fireworks (which Abby thought were "too loud").

Such a fun day.

Jenny ~ I love your blog! It is so fun to read, you are seriously so funny and sweet. It's fun to see and hear about your cute kids, since we never get to see them in real life. :)
