Happy 4th of July!

We have our yearly tradition with our friends of hitting the Clearfield Parade. We've found a perfect spot a few years back right at the beginning of the parade where we can park somewhat easily (I think people are catching on). Then right when we see the end coming we all hop in our cars and rush off to breakfast at Village Inn before the crowds start. We've worked it out pretty well! The kids had a great time and we were thrown plenty of candy to last us a couple weeks. The weather was overcast and it was perfect! We're usually roasting in the sun by the time the parade is done, but not this year.

We headed to Orem to celebrate with my family. We swam, had a BBQ, played Rock Band, and finished the night off with fireworks. My parents ward gathers in the church parking lot behind them where everybody can watch each others fireworks being set off. It got pretty windy and we were worried about all the sparks flying towards us, but it blew over pretty quickly. Both of my camera batteries died today...luckily I was at least able to get a few at fireworks.
This picture of Ken and Sophie I took right before my camera died....I had to laugh at Sophie's face, I have no clue what she was doing. It looks like her lip is all deformed. :)
