We started celebrating Independence Day on July 3rd this year. It was just the boys and Steve & I who set off a handful of fireworks. Landon is still not a big fan of the really load ones and him and I both ran for cover when one of the fireworks fell apart and started shooting right at us. Scary I tell you. That night Landon and I also decorated his bike for our 2nd annual 4th of July neighborhood parade, unfortunately it rained in the night and ruined some of our hard work. Landon did not care as much as I did.
Lucas did not want to ride in the parade so Steve went with Landon while Lucas and I watched from the sideline. There were a lot more people in the parade this year than last year and hopefully it just continues to grow.
After the parade we loaded up the truck and headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon for the fun little parade at Brighton. It is such a laid back atmosphere, the parade never starts on time and anyone who wants to join in is free to do so. Lucas and Landon choose to be spectators and managed to collect a bag full of candy. We took Taby with us and soon found out that might not have been the best idea as she did not like the sirens from the fire trucks in the parade.
After the parade we took the boys fishing in the river. We did not catch any fish but we did manage to get eaten alive by all the bugs.
For the firework festivities we were joined by Grandma & Papa and Aunt Erin. It was a great day to be an American.
