[[ HomE of tHe Free, BecaUse oF tHe Brave!]]

I simply love the fourth of July.  Next to my birthday, it is my very favorite. 
I love the crowds of red white and blue, I love the smell of all the BBQ's, Parades, fireworks, and family time.  I just love it all so much! This year was no different.

Our holiday started off the night before at the Eaglewood fireworks.  Its such a great show and its always fun to be with all of Austs friends and the entire city of Bountiful!!  Roby had just got into town and was there so it was extra fun! We love a good visit from him. 

Aust has usually worked but this year he made a speical request to be off, even though it was time and a half, hes the sweetest!

The day started at the Parentals for a lovely french toast casserole breakfast.  From there we all went to the Kaysville parade.  As many people know, its the best therefore people set out blankets and chairs days in advance.  Lucky for us Chels was on top of it and did the same for us.  We got supreme seating.  I'll be honest, this years parade was more like an advertisement parade but the crowds and candy and family made it great! 

After the parade we checked out the booths and then dad treated us to some ever delicious Paces, YUM! We took a nap and then headed over to Layton to check out their booths.  Its always fun even though we never buy anything and its usually just ghetto stuff. 

That night we went to the Layton fireworks with Kasey and Chels!  It has to be one of my favorite firework shows, we really hit up like every single one and this is one of the better ones for sure.



I hope you all had a great Independence day as well.  I am sure grateful for our freedoms.  I certainly gained a whole new understanding and appreciation for all the Military does for us after having Ryan here living with us.  Thank You to all the men and women who serve!
