4th of July Celebrations!

The Fourth of July is Kev's favorite holiday, which makes it a lot of fun at our house. He gets everyone really excited for all the activities and never seems to slow down. I think that is where Ty gets his enthusiasm. Here are a bunch of pictures of our fun, and it was FUN!



Thursday morning watching the hot air balloons with Grandma and Grandpa Shaw. The boys loved it!



Loved it so much that when our friends, the Browns, invited us to go on Friday, we went again! The boys had lots of fun again and weren't even grouchy from waking up early two mornings in a row.



Next stop was the Provo parade, which we normally wouldn't do. It is always chaos, hot and crowded! But we dared the crowds with the Browns and stayed just long enough to see Kev's parents' Stake float. Ty and Grace are definitely pros at the 'cheese' thing.

And the night finished with the ever traditional Cul-de-Sac of Fire. This makes the 4th for Kev and now I'm sure will be one of our kids' fondest memories.

Ty is trying to be brave and hold his flag during the National Anthem, but the fireworks were a little close. I was videoing, so thanks Lexi for watching out for him.


Ty could have thrown Snaps all night. He felt pretty cool and got very creative on how and where he would throw them.


At first you think Jordo was having a great time....

only from a distance I guess.

(He did get better as the night went on though.)



With fireworks and glow sticks, who wouldn't love the 4th!


Happy Independence Day and a special thanks to all those that served and serve now to keep our country free!
