We had such a fun 4th of July this year. The day started off with a flag ceremony at the Library and then a kiddie parade along the Jordan River down to the park where we had a pancake breakfast for the community. Henry and Maisie had a ball decorating their bikes and riding in the parade. You will notice what a safety conscious mother I am by the helmet Henry is wearing. Doh! It was even red and would have completed the red, white, and blue ensemble I tried to coordinate. Good thing the kids were riding VERY SLOWLY along the parkway.
After the parade Henry and I met Buffy and the boys for some swimming at the Cottonwood Heights rec center. Even though the weather was warm, there was a nice cloud cover so it never got too hot. The boys had a fantastic time and I was happy as a clam chatting with Buffy while the boys swam.
That night we had our own fireworks (thank you Teag for the display you provided from "across the border"). Kevin and Grandpa also set up an outdoor movie on the back of Grandma and Grandpas house and we watched Shanghai Noon to cap off the night. Great idea Kerri! It was a very fun day.
Oh and one more happy piece of news...on July 3rd, the world welcomed Matthew Lowe Nelson , son of Rich and Kristl Nelson, our very good friends. We are so happy to have you here Matt and we look forward to future holidays with you and the Nelson clan:) For a picture of a perfect baby boy, check out Rich and Kristls' blog.

Such great pictures! Too bad Maisie had her hat on in the pic...hmmmm. Looks like you had a great time. Love the sparkler pic! :)
Loved being with you on the 4th. We need to do it every year, that is if we aren't in Tehach.
I'm so happy that you are also a closet Bachelorette fan! I also found Jeremy to be an android. It made my sense why he got as far as he did.
I bet he was so stoked to be in a parade even if his parents are negligent and left his helmet at home. Ha!
:)
That sounds like ther perfect day! Although, if we all could have just squeezed a little time on the grass in Park City, that would have been the icing on the cake. I am not complaining though. You are so sweet to mention us, thanks!
Love the new posts of the "proper D" and 4th of July. Watch out- looks like you're making the proper D into a really nice place for future family reunions!
