We had another great 4th of July this year, full of fun festivities.
We headed up to The Land for the 4th. The kids wanted to run the 5k again this year. I told Tyler and Tracy they could run ahead and I would stay with Colton and Makayla. The funny thing was that the entire way I felt like I was pushing them along. I would tell them, "Let's just run to the next tree and then we can walk." Well we got almost to the end and I told them they just had to run to the next corner and we would be done, so they took off and I tried to catch up with them but they were too fast. I ended up finishing up almost a minute behind them, when all along I was ahead of them!
I'm proud of these kids! It's not easy to run 3 miles, but they all did it.
Then we were off to the funnest parade. It was perfect weather (in fact it was just a little bit cold), the parade was nice and short, and the kids got a lot of candy.
Hey, why didn't the pony sing in the circus?
Because he was a little horse... get it? (Tyler, that was for you!)
I fear this child has developed an addiction to Dr. Pepper, just like her mom.
We love celebrating Independence Day at our favorite vacation spot!
On the actual 4th of July we had my parents and Ryan's family over for a bar-b-q as an early birthday party/ 4th of July party.
Then we headed to West Jordan City Park for their fireworks show. It was great!
The flash might have been a little too bright... sorry!
Fireworks, family and fun... can't ask for a better way to spend the 4th!
