Independence Day



Freedom Days in Downtown Provo.
Sporting our new hairstyles from the hair dressing booth.  
(Check out my man arm...I was NOT flexing, I promise)
Oh, and the backwards flag on Haley's face was bugging me all evening...those teens running the face painting booth better relearn how to draw a proper flag!  But she sure does look pretty, backwards flag and all!

We had a really nice Independence Day!  We got together with our friends Jen and Steve and their girls for a  BBQ at our house.  We even made homemade fries to go with our burgers!  Then it was off to their house for a really yummy dessert and some trampoline fun.  The girls loved when Ryan would bounce them super high!  And watching Ryan, a nearly 6'4" man, jumping on a trampoline just made me smile!  After dessert we headed out again and walked to a nearby field to watch the firework show from the Stadium.  What a perfect view we had!  The downfall...Piper hates fireworks.  She completely freaked out!  So much in fact that Ryan had to walk her home.  So that was a bust.  But the other girls loved it!  Even Rory would take a break from nursing to see some of the action.  Then we all walked home and crashed into our beds.

Today, I'm writing this post with the windows open listening to the pitter patter and the smell of rain wafting into the house.  Oh, I cannot begin to tell you how much we needed this rain!  

Perfect weather for a recovery day.  And after our late night I'll be dragging for sure!
