The 4th

One of the things that I came to miss the most while living in Arizona was the 4th of July festivities in Utah. My extended family always does lots of fun things and I didn't realize I would miss it so much. Well, this year we did some major making up for those 4 years we missed! First we went to a party at some of our friends house in Sugar House.

Danielle on the mechanical bull. The kids put me to shame...there's no future for me as a professional bull rider.

Avie wasn't interested in riding the bull, she instead bonded with Ceasar.

The girls, so good to be back!

John's "small" firework show was not so small! The police were called, some neighbor's upset, but hey, small price to pay for a fun night.

For the 4th we missed the parade, but went to my family's party after. Avie and cousin Gavin
