Fourth of July

Our Fourth of July celebrations began Thursday evening with our city's parade. Aaron had school that night, but I loaded the girls into their wagon, trekked a few blocks in the 100 degree heat, and found a great, shady spot sitting with some neighbors. Maddie hadn't been to a parade since she was a baby and was a little hesitant about running for the candy. Her neighbor friends quickly taught her the ropes though, and they were so good about sharing with her. In the end, she ended up with more candy than she got at Halloween!






Fourth of July morning we went boating with the Murray family at Utah Lake. We had a great time since it wasn't very crowded or too hot yet.

And we ended the day with a barbecue at my cousin Jessica's house. A great holiday weekend!
