July part 1

INDEPENDENCE DAY

We had a great 4th of July. Sometimes you take for granted all the sacrifices that people are doing overseas to keep the liberties in this country that we enjoy so much.
We went to the Layton fair. It was super crowded but we loved seeing the kiddos go on and on the bouncy houses they had available. This time Josh actually climbed in and went through their obstacle course. We picked up a couple of bags of cotton candy and headed to grandma’s Smith house.

The kids swam with all the cousins and had a blast. Even this little munchkin got all wet.


 
You can’t celebrate the 4th without hamburgers and good ol’ corn. Yum!

Spencer had bought fireworks for the kids and we had the family come over to our home to watch them together.
Can you guess who was scared and who wasn’t?....
Josh ran to the background and watched from the safety of the door steps. He takes after me. Believe it or not I was scared to death of fireworks when I was little.


 Julia was very brave, but I kept seeing her chair slowly move further and further back and away from the fireworks.



Spencer lighting the fireworks, although he had a great deal of help from little Luke who was extremely excited about the fireworks. 

I don’t think Andrew even blinked while the fireworks were going on. He was perfectly snuggled on his grandpa’s legs

The kids loved it. After our show was over we walked to the end of our street and were able to watch dozens of fireworks being launched everywhere around us
