4th of July

It was so fun celebrating Independence Day in Utah this year.  My hometown of Centerville always goes all out with the parade, fun runs, breakfast in the park, carnival games, fireworks, concerts, etc.  I have such great memories of this holiday as a kid.  

 here's the fam at the parade

pretty sure the kids were most excited about all the free candy!:)

Cody flew in from Arizona just in time for the backyard BBQ and games

 He hit up some croquet with the kiddos, they loved it!

Fireworks are now legal in Utah!  We sat out on the front lawn enjoying the variety of shows around the neighborhood, and did a few ourselves:)

So grateful to live in this country and enjoy our freedoms.  Happy (belated) 4th!
