4th of July fun!

We loved celebrating the 4th of July this year! It seemed like a never ending party! Perhaps because we celebrated on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of July this year. I think it should be a 3 day celebration every year!


Emmy showing her patriotic side


Being Cheesy for the camera


On the 3rd we had a huge family party at our house. We did the traditional water fight and games and then a bbq in the evening.



Watching the fireworks in the evening. Emmy spent most of the show with a blanket over her ears. She loved all the sparkles though!

Some of these are out of order - this was her 4th of July outfit for this year. She looked very patriotic at church!

On Monday morning we woke up bright and early to see the hot air balloons inflate and take off. It is really hard to get out of bed so early but well worth it...
Apparently Emmy is thinking that her parents are insane in this picture...

it's worth it now though!


After the balloons we decided last minute to go to the Provo parade. We felt a little guilty because a lot of people sleep out the night before to get good seats but we got there an hour before the parade and got amazing seats! During the parade, some people from a Karate school were letting people chop wood in half. Emmy was very proud of herself!
