Fireworks

My dad

checking out the goods

lining up to get some fireworks

Oh yeah!

enjoying the scene

wait a minute, Should a 4 year old be holding a big firework with the letters TNT on it?

Only for the 4th of July festivities. ;)

Max desperately wanting to get out of his stroller. Only to run right to the fireworks.

I don't think so! Sorry Max. He actually ended up falling asleep doing all the fireworks. This kid wants to be to bed by 8:00pm. no matter what. Then up at 5:30am. He has his very own internal alarm clock.

cousin fun

Here's some pictures of Max having fun with his cousins in Utah. He had lots of play friends. I wish I would have gotten more pictures with him and all his cousins. Max had a great time with them. They were all so sweet and loving to him.

That's a kid having a good time!

4th of July Parade

We went to the 4th of July parade in Provo, UT. I loved it! What a great time. There were soldiers and veterans. The crowd would stand and cheer. It was all so patriotic and fun. This is why I love the 4th of July in Utah. The weather was so amazing. It was a wonderful break from the heat in Arizona. I love this country and enjoy celebrating our freedoms! Because the 4th of July was on Sunday. They had the big fireworks on Saturday night and the parade Monday morning. I loved this! It made the celebration last longer. I wish Shaun could have come with us. He was stuck working.

I love the look on Max's face as he watches the parade go by.

Even the missionaries walk the parade! People were standing and cheering. You've got to love that!

love the veterans! :)

The theme of the parade was "then and now"

this float had the Nauvoo temple going to the Salt lake Temple

Funny Republican float. Cut the pork. Ha!

That's just a little of the parade. There was a lot more. So fun!

Colonial Village

After the parade. We walked over to the Colonial Village. Where people were dressed in the colonial era and had colonial games and showed how things were done. We even saw Abraham Lincoln. ;)

Making furniture

Display about the Mayflower.

I wanted to learn more about all these things, but Max was so tired. I had to keep moving.

Colonial Tavern.

Unfortunately, not Colonial prices.
