The 4th and lots of Fireworks!

We had so much fun on our trip. One of the highlights was being able to do the really good fireworks in Utah. We all went out front and just hung out and let all the little boys be little pyros. The best was that my brother Bryce bought so many cool fireworks and he is like a little kid with fireworks. I don't know if I have ever seen someone enjoy it more than him.

Janie had fun eating candy and hanging out with Dad. I love the candy smile.

It was really cute to see all the little kids lined up on the curb, they had a blast.

Gotta love Nellie, she is pretty good at throwing fits over stuff, I don't even remember what it was about.

Little Poser Lizzy. One of the funniest things that she did was she took some of the streamers that came out of Parachute firework and she held them up and rode around on her bike like she was a beauty queen, for probably over fifteen minutes.

On the fourth we decided to go to the parade down in Provo. At first we didn't want to go because we would have to get up early and we were all pretty tired, but we decided that it was something that the girls would really enjoy, and of course they did. They had never seen a real parade before with actual nice floats, just the small Kansas ones. Lizzy absolutely loved the ones with the beauty queens on them. The funny thing was she waved to each and every group that passed but when it was the beauty queens she did her elbow wrist beauty queen wave. That girl is something else.

One of the favorites was the big balloons. The girls really loved watching the people spin them.

Chanelle brought Max and Jack too, so it made it even more fun.

The night of the fourth we had almost all the grand kids there(we were only missing Austin's four kids.) So we decided to try and get a picture of all of the grand kids together. As you can see by these pictures it is pretty hard to even get all the kids in the picture let alone looking at the camera.
