4th of July Festivities

Since I can remember my family has had the tradition of spending the 4th of July together. When we were kids on the 3rd we slept outside on my grandparents lawn. The next morning we would wake up eat breakfast and then get together again later in the day. For the past few years we started doing it at my parents house with my cousins and their kids. We added an outside movie on the 3rd and swimming in the afternoon of the 4th. We also get to enjoy tank firework races and a candy cannon. All a lot of fun and it is one of the few times I get to see my cousins.



Lily was a little bit afraid of the fireworks. But she did like watching them with grandma.



Lily and I swimming. She loves it.

It doesn't get better (or worse) than Round-up Days

Lehi City's yearly celebration is anchored by a PRCA rodeo and a miniture float parade (both things to be proud of, right?). Lily enjoyed most of the festivities this year.

check out those sunglasses!


(apparently Lily enjoys parades as much as her dad)

She enjoyed the pony ride much more.


Glad we got these pictures--because she only lasted a half a lap!
