Since the fourth of July was on a Sunday this year, and we live in the state of Utah, most of the celebration was done on Saturday the third. That morning we walked a few blocks to a small neighborhood parade.
We met up with our friends, the Ahlers, and their extended family, to watch the parade.

Chris bought a few sparklers and small fireworks for the kids. Madison was really reluctant to hold the sparkler.
Ashley is at the age that we can't light them fast enough.

After the fireworks at the house, we hopped in the car and headed to a parking lot by Sugarhouse Park where there is a large fireworks show. We had a great day together as a family.
On Monday the fifth, Chris had the day off so we loaded up the girls and my sister Camille and headed to the Cottonwood Heights pool. The girls love to swim.
