4th of July Fun

This year we went to Loren's for dinner and fireworks on the 3rd since that's the day Bountiful does their show. Loren grilled up some steaks, salmon, hamburgers, and hot dogs for everyone so everyone got something that they liked. I took the salmon because I think Loren cooks the best salmon I've ever had and I'm not a fish person. This is also the first year we actually took the kids to watch the fireworks now that they're old enough to stay up that late. By the time we found a parking spot that was at least a two mile walk to the golf course it was almost time to start, and the kids couldn't walk anymore, so we found a spot on the church lawn and watched them from there. The kids loved it.

The next day we went to the Cherry Days festival in North Ogden. We watched a bird and reptile show for the first hour which the boys loved while Hannah and I played on the playground. They got to play in some of the bounce houses and we had a pizza picnic before going home.

That night we did our own fireworks which was so fun because our whole neighborhood was out there shooting off their own in the streets. There were fireworks all over; lots of noise, rain, wind, and shouting as we celebrated our great country.
