4TH of July

I think this was the first year (besides the year we got married (we were on our honeymoon) that I haven't been home for the 4th of July. It was kind of weird. We thought that we would take advantage of some of the activities going on around here this year. I was feeling like we should start our own traditions to do as well, but at the end of the day... THERE IS NO 4th LIKE A RICHFIELD 4TH!

We started the day with our ward's "Children's Parade". The kids thought that was great. We decorated their bikes and headed to the parade start. They rode along with the parade, and even a real fire engine followed behind. The parade ended at a park across from our church building. We had breakfast and played. The guy who brought the fire engine is in our ward. He let the kids climb in and out and all over the fire truck. He brought out the fire hose and turned it on. All of the kids went CRAZY! It was only 9 am and they were all already SOAKED!

After breakfast we went home and got "re-ready" for the day. We met up at Olive Garden with some great friends, the Sharps and the Morgans. That afternoon we went for a walk around the lake and stopped at a park. These pic's were taken on Jesse's Iphone using "Instagram".

We ended the night with a little BBQ, did a few fireworks and watched a bunch in the sky.

Fun day! We love the 4th of July.
