Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th this year, lots of food, family and fireworks! When we were little the Chinese house was our favorite firework, not because it did anything fancy, it was just do darn cool how at the end it would spin around and then pop up, we loved it. A few years ago we were looking for some and a friend of ours who's aunt sells fireworks in Wyoming said they didn't make them anymore, but when Tysen and Chris were in Vegas a while ago they hit a firework store and guess what they found!
We ended up going to the parade, after I got home from the 5k the kids were still in bed but it was a cloudy, perfect day for a parade, so I got them all up (including Rick)



We had a great time at the stadium of fire! other then the fact that the sound system is not that great, for the most part we couldn't understand what she was singing, unless you knew the song, and most of her songs were from her new album set to be released the end of the month. Before the big fireworks even started Ellie and Mazie were ready to go!



They were saleep before we even left the parking lot!

I had forgotten about those chinese house fireworks- we used to save them all for the end and make a little city. I think we even saved them in the garage for weeks after. It looks like you are all settled into your new place. We miss seeing you around.

I totally remember those chinese houses & loved them, too. What fun memories. My daughter, Melissa, has been reading this along with me & bummed that you got to go to the Stadium of Fire. We were in Utah, but up camping in the mountains. Sorry the sound system was so bad. We enjoyed the fireworks from the mouth of the canyon. =)
