July 4th Activities

I wanted to share some pictures of our July 4th celebration. We started out at the parade in West Jordan, but it was crowded and honestly, one I probably won't attend next year, but something fun did happen. While we were waiting for the parade to begin, Bossy noticed an older gentleman standing alone about 6 feet from our umbrella. He was about the same age as Grandpa and a Korean Vet as well. Bossy invited him to sit in one of our chairs, so he joined us until he had seen his son pass by. His son was running for Mayor of West Jordan. We clapped and cheered along with him and then a few minutes later, he excused himself and left.
 

After the parade we enjoyed a picnic lunch sponsored by Crafty and Bossy. Some of the kids participated in a coloring contest before we took off again for the Sandy parade at 6:00. It was much better until it started to rain! We had Little Warrior and Little Squire with us as well as Skittles and Twizlet. We had plenty of adults too, but the babies are what makes any of these activities so much fun!

By the time we got home, the rain had stopped and the sun was shining again. We had a nice dinner at Bossy and Gamer's house and then they did fireworks. I found out that Skittles was afraid of the fireworks, so I snuggled up with him and he fell asleep tucked into my coat and a fuzzy blanket.

Teach and Twiz took their little family home and Beauty and The Beast picked up their little guys. Pretty soon it was time to take our own family home. So few of us this week with Baby Doll and Scout at camp. Thankfully, we had Dog Walker and Puppy Lover with us.

We hope you all had a happy 4th as well.
