July 4th Weekend!

We finally made it this year to Provo's Freedom Festival (at least some of the events). On Friday, the 3rd, we went to the carnival. They had a lot of fun things for kids, plus old antiques from the Revolutionary Period, and lots of yummy food! It seemed there was something for everyone. I especially loved the candied strawberry. We had a great time!

On Saturday, we headed up to Midvale to have a BBQ with Jaylyn & Taylor (Austin's sisters). Austin and I brought a YUMMY fruit pizza, decorated like an American flag, of course. Jaylyn and I are both the primary choristers, so we spent some time planning for primary. Taylor helped us by using her talents to draw. Austin had a great time playing Wii fit and Star wars.


We went swimming too and wore out the babies.



In the evening, Jaylyn & Sadie drove with us to find a good up high spot to watch the fireworks. We found a great place and could see fireworks all across the valley. Plus, other people who ended up at the same place brought their own, so the babies had something to watch! Cadence LOVED watching them. It was a long & fun holiday!
