4th of July

We had a great 4th of July.

We celebrated with family and played hard all day.

The kids had fun lighting fireworks at grandma and grandpa's the night before.  

And Michael's brother put on quite a show for us once the little kids went to bed.

 Our little family woke up early on the 4th and went to our ward breakfast and flag-raising ceremony.

Then we met up with family for the parade.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.

The kids loved the airplanes that flew overhead right before it started.

Sadly, some of our favorite floats weren't part of the parade this year.  We missed them!

After the parade, we headed to the park for some food and rides.

I think I devoured an entire elephant ear by myself.

We put the kids down for a nap and then watched Despicable Me 2 with everyone.

And later that night, we watched the big fireworks show.
It was great finale to a wonderful day.
