July 4th (Parade, Parties and Get-Together)

We love spending the 4th of July in Utah!
All of the relatives are together and the weather is a lot cooler, to say the least.


One thing we try to do when we come is to go to the Provo Parade. It was a family tradition while Neil was growing up.


The kids absolutely LOVE it!

Ok, so maybe not.
But they do enjoy hanging out with their cousins.






Just fun to be together and keeping the tradition alive!
Afterward we all had a picnic. Aaron was loving the watermelon!
He was so happy I gave him a big slice.

The kids enjoyed the trampoline.


We did a little early birthday party for Andrew while we were there and it sure made his day!









Here's Andrew with Grandma and Grandpa



Later that night we went to my side of the family for dinner and fireworks.
The kids enjoyed the tire swing, performing shows, the fireworks we watched in my sisters back yard and riding on the Power Wheel.

We sang Happy Birthday to Andrew again with the cake we brought for dessert. Two pre-birthdays-what a lucky guy!
I guess I was pictured out from the first part of the day, because I did not get very many pictures. Sisters, please email me some if you have any from this night!
