4TH WEEKEND

It was so lovely to have the 4th fall on a Sunday this year, it meant we got a 3 day weekend here in Utah! We had a lazy Saturday swimming, laying out and eating slurpies.

Saturday night was the Stadium of Fire so we watched the fireworks from my parents backyard. While waiting for the fireworks we swam, ate delicious food and roasted huge marshmallows.

YUM!


Sunday we BBQ'd with friends.


A newer tradition we have started is taking the kids to "the clubhouse" the night before the parade and have a sleepover. Karson was so 'cited this year because he finally got to come!


Mik met up with a bunch of family and friends on scooters and motorcycles to "candy bomb" all the people on University Avenue.

Mom and Dad ready to go!


My birds eye view of the scooter gang.



After watching a movie we went to the Shred Shack for a late night snack.


We woke up bright and early for the parade the next morning. Some of us a little more tuckered out then others.

Parade Time!

The Harley Davidson mascot (a sasquatch) pulled Brooke out of the bleachers and made him ride in the parade!


OUCH! Burned his leg on the hot pipe:


Love these summer days!
