4th of July

Caleb had to work on the 4th of July this year so initially we were really bummed not to be able to go home to Idaho Falls to be with our family for the holiday. It ended up being a really fun day though. I took the kids to the parade in Centerville in the morning. They got a lot of candy! Then we went to a park nearby to play. When we came home for lunch, Caleb was home! He got off early--a total surprise to us! After naps, we went to Seven Peaks to swim. At the beginning of the summer we bought "the pas of all passes" for $10 a person (they are normally like $50 or more). It has been one of the best things we did and we have gone probably about 10 times. Our kids love it. We thought it would be super busy but it was actually not too bad. After that we took the kids to McDonald's for dinner followed by the fireworks at Sugarhouse Park. We had a perfect view sitting on the hill! Parking was a disaster and we thought we were never going to get out of there, but it actually wasn't that bad. Our kids all fell asleep on the way home.

  1. I'm so glad Caleb got off early. That always makes things so much more fun. I'm so glad I can see your little belly in the pic of you on the blanket waiting for the fireworks. You're always so tiny. I'm jealous. It seems like you've been partying hard this summer. That's the best. We love you guys.
