In Utah, they LOVE the 4th of July. Between fireworks, parades, and festivals, it lasts for a few days!
Watching the fireworks just outside of the stadium of fire with Louis and his family, the Crippen kids, and Cody and Jessica.
Not our best shot... but proof that we were there!
Little Aubree knocked out on her Uncle Cody.
Uncle Louis brought glow necklaces for everyone.
We woke up early and went to the balloon festival in Provo, and then head over to the parade.
There were awesome balloons there... piggy banks, and even a Darth Vadar one!
It was all so beautiful until a gust of wind started blowing and caused the balloons to not be able to take off. Major bummer. :(
The Crippens and our friend Scott joined us to watch the parade.
Little posers! (hey byuh peeps, recognize the face of the man in the background? Small-small world.)
Kea marching along to the music.
The Hopoate family loves the USA!
Tino and Samara got a little tired and sought out the shade.
When we got hoe from the parade... we were HOT. Tino quickly fixed that problem by pulling out the house and getting us all a little wet. :) he and Louis added that house and faucet down in our garage... and we love having access to water outside.
The freedom fun continued as we headed over to the Crippen's for a BBQ, slip n slide, and firework fun.

Freedom flag and firework cupcakes!
Watching their Big Cousins light up the fireworks.
Playing with Sparklers... in our matching outfits. :) Nancy made both Samara and I clothes for our birthday... She and her 2 boys also have matching outfits.
It was a busy, fun-filled celebration. Thanks to all those who fought to allow us our freedoms!
