The FOURTH!!!

The fun started Thursday night when Kody took us camping in his 8 man tent. In spite of the rain, we headed up the canyon...the weather turned out great, it was a little muddy so little Amers enjoyed her carrots dipped in mud

The girls were so excited to eat the hot dogs, but the boys were hesitant to start the fire seeing as how there was a sign stating "no open fires"...well, we didn't get in trouble and they were the best tasting hot dogs.


Kody left for work at 5:30 in the morning on his motorcycle, so it was up to us and the girls to pack up in the morning.

The first thing joe said in the morning was, "that just reaffirmed the fact that I hate camping" Come to find out he didn't mean it and he wants us to go camping as a family for sure one more time this summer, except this time, he wants to be the man in charge, and i am bring a pad for my boney body to sleep on:)

After a two hour nap, we headed to our new favorite pool in Lindon. We love it! It was a beautiful day.

We can't quite pin point it, but the fourth is for sure one of our favorite holidays. After dolling ourselves up, we headed to the parade where Spencer saved us a prime spot!(he was there saving our spot at 4AM in the morning)

Amarie was the star at the parade, fearless and independent, she marched out on to the street on beat and looking cuter than ever!

Brekk and TJ and their family joined us at the parade, and then they had us over for a barbeque that evening keeping the tradition alive, thanks guys.
