Every year, for the past 5 years, I have started our 4
th of July celebrations early in the morning by running the Sandy 4
th of July 5k Classic. The first couple years I ran the 5k while pushing Lucas in the jogger. By the time Landon came along I had wised up enough to let the boys stay at home with dad and sleep in. I do imagine a time in the future when the boys will be up at 6am getting ready to run the race with me. Until then I will continue to let them sleep in those extra couple of hours.
After getting home from the race and getting the family ready in all our red, white and blue attire we then head back to the Sandy Promenade where there are games, crafts, bounce houses, food vendors and tons of other fun stuff for the the family to do. This year we met our friends, The
Kenney's, at the Promenade where Lucas and Landon enjoyed hanging out with
Cassidy and Parker. The boys each chose a fun airbrush tattoo and Lucas won his first toy gun by popping balloons. Landon loved watching the police dogs run
obstacle courses and attack the different officers in the padded suit.
This year since the holiday fell on Sunday, and we live in Utah, the 4
th of July was actually celebrated on the 3rd of July. For the
McCormack family this just meant we got to celebrate the 3rd of July with the rest of the crazy Utahans and we also went as far as to celebrate the actual 4
th of July on Sunday. Twice the fun!!!
The boys loved the Poppers or whatever those things are called.
