Our 24th of July Fun!!

Since we missed out on the 4th of July festivities, I wanted to make sure that we had a really fun 24th of July!! So the night before we went and watched a pageant put on here in Grantsville about the pioneers. It was great!! My mom and little sister were in it and did a fabulous job. It was fun to watch them, but really made me wish that I was in it!! Maybe next year I will be!! The next morning (July 24th) we got up early and headed over to the Days of '47 Parade in Salt Lake! It was awesome, like always!! I love that parade for some reason! Maybe its because I know that one of the members of the First Presidency will be in it, who knows! But anyways I just love it!! Parker and Chloee did really good too which made it all the better!! Here are a couple of pictures:

Look at my cute little pAtRiOtiC girl!!!

aDoRabBle!!




Our SWEET kids!!






Parker and I eNjOyiNg the parade!





After the parade we went back home and had a yUmMy lunch and then just relaxed for a bit!! That evening the two stakes in Grantsville had a combined cookout and pioneer carnival. It was a lot of fun but was very HoT! As soon as we were finished there my sisters (Heidi & Ciara), the kids and I headed over to Salt Lake to brave the masses of people at Liberty Park for FiReWoRkS!! We parked a ways a way and then just walked so that we didn't have to fight the traffic....there were SO many people there!

Heidi and I watching the fireworks!! The fireworks were great! We set up our blanket in the middle of the street and sat and waited with eXciTeMeNt!!







Poor Parker...He was SO excited to watch the fireworks and waited and waited....only to fall asleep literally 2 minutes before they started!! Poor kid! It was just too late for him!
