4th of July 2015

Our 4th of July festivities started on the 3rd when we went to an Orem Owlz baseball game.  This game was the most packed we had attended in light of the fact that there were fireworks at the end of the game.  It was awesome to be so close to where they were setting them off and just be able to lay back on the grass and watch the show. On the 4th we met up with my friend Brittani and her boyfriend Chris and his daughter Shaylee in Riverton.  That town does a great job of putting on an all day celebration.  The park was filled with activities including a game of Bingo (Thomas won a citronella camping candle), performances from currently running plays and musicians/singers, and a park and splash pad for the kids.  Brooklyn and Shaylee got along really well and it was so nice for them to have someone to play with.
After the park we headed to Chris' house for the girls to nap while the adults relaxed and watched a movie and prepared dinner.  After dinner we headed to the pool for a bit before it started to rain. Let Britt and I took the girls to the park while Christ took Thomas on a motorcycle ride. Luckily the rain cleared up in time for the fireworks show that night.
Britt's coworker's family puts on the show each year so we got to sit in the restricted area and have special parking which was so nice.  We were so close that by the end there was ash falling on us!
Great time with friends this year celebrating our freedoms.

How cute is this couple holding hands!?
