Happy Birthday America

The 4th was on a Saturday this year. Which means we got to have Friday the 3rd of July off of work. YAY!!! We headed out to Willard Bay to play on the beach. We invited Lisa and her little ones and Richard and Vicki to come along.

It was a beautiful sunny day. I stopped at the dollar store and got some fun beach toys for the little kids. It was well worth the money. They loved digging in the sand and playing with the beach balls. The boys and Jalon spent most of the day in the water splashing and swimming around.

I packed a lunch for everyone and we just enjoyed the afternoon together as a family.

On the actually 4th of July we had a very busy day. We packed another picnic lunch and headed up to Logan for the big Cache Valley Cruising car show. I cannot even guess how many cars were there. Well over a thousand... or maybe it just seemed that way. All the boys (Especially Brian and Richard) were in car heaven.

We made it home just in time to throw together a macaroni salad to take over to Richard and Vicki's for a family BBQ. Then we did our night of fireworks. Josh and Xander put on a great firework show this year. Farrah and Jalon loved the sparklers. Brian and the boys played around with sparklers and the camera to take some cool photos.
