4th of JuLy

Our 4th of July really started on the 3rd. My family was saving spots for the Parade, so we went and hung out with them. They save spots outside my aunt Linda's building on University Ave so they can have power to hook up all there game system. They brought down 3 X-Boxs so they could play Halo. And they had Rock Band going. It was quite the set up! This guy from channel 2 News even came by and filmed them... but it didn't make the News! I guess we looked too white trash!

So the 4th began Bright and Early with the Balloons, it is really early but totally worth it! Ava talks about the Balloons all the time! Then we went to the Parade... what can I say it is just your typical Parade, but ava really likes it. And this year my cousin Mia cheered in it. She is going to be a Freshmen at Provo High, so it was her first time in the Parade.

After the Parade we headed home and took a family Nap! We were all so tired from getting up so early, and we had to rest up for the late night we had a head of us!

That evening Ryan's Parents and Rachel came down to Provo to go to dinner with us. We went to P.F Changs I know that is not a Typical 4th of July Meal up Ryan's brother Spencer had to work so we went to visit. And of Course we had to get Cold Stone after!

After Dinner and Dessert we headed to Sullivan's back yard and did the Fireworks thing... gotta
LOVE the 4th of JULY!

Seth and his Posy, they were up all nigh... and they slept during the whole Parade!

It took Ava awhile to get used to and like all the Fireworks! But she came around... and she really liked the "Sprinklers"
