We started out the morning at the parade...with a little help from the young singles in the family, we were able to get a "nice" spot right out on the street.
Why I still want to do the parade every year is the question
I start asking myself every year...at about this time.
Because it {usually} gets HOT!
But nice for us we have an easy enough solution...
connections! We were invited to {enjoy} the parade from a cool store window and balcony.
Thanks connections!

After some time spent eating and playing in the park...the hot park...we headed off to the annual luau and fireworks show at the {Provo House.}
I was particularly {excited} to participate in something I hadn't done in Years
Slip-N-Slide.
yeah, it's still fun!
(tried to upload the video...obviously it didn't work.)
Josh and Marc graced us with some fire dancing entertainment
once again. We hope to see Josh soon on {Ellen} for
her "coolest kid talents" show.
My sis and I in our festive dress. "of course!"
Annual game of speed.
watching the {non-professional} fire-works show.
Here's the party watchin the {pro} fireworks show.
NEXT MORNING
we went to the Balloons! {a lot less crowded the day after the 4th}
Here's Kaia trying to be brave
...and J. He usually has that look on his face
who know what he is thinking.?
We ended the day at the arts and crafts fair.
a little wrestling...a lot of the time.
Kaia has a good technique. Just {lay} on the opponent.
...then the sleep {finally} settles in!
THANKS AMERICA!
THANKS ALL THOSE WHO MADE US FREE!
THANKS ALL THOSE WHO FIGHT (at home and away) TO KEEP US FREE!
now if only gas was free....
