Independece Day Celebrations!!

This year was super fun and really packed!!
The Holiday started for us on Friday, our neighborhood does an annual firework BBQ show and it was so fun we ate hot dogs and yummy sides that everyone brought and Anna ran around like she always does then the fireworks started and it was a bit crazy cause they lined all 100's of the fireworks up down the road and lit them all off at once it was super loud and the smoke was so thick that you couldnt really even see the fireworks and Anna got really scared cause it was super loud!! But aferwards they had an out door movie (Gnomeo and Juliet) Anna's favorite movie so we went over and watched it and she loved it (yes it was at 10:00 at night).

Saturday I had to work but Riley took Anna to Seven Peaks for the Afternoon then when I got off we went to Carterville Park to watch the Stadium Fireworks, with the Chad, Shelley, Kenzie and Logan and there cousins, It was super fun and Anna loved watching the stadium fireworks everytime one went off she would clap and yell "YAY" and then ask for more!!

Sunday we had Grandma and Grandpa Creps over for a BBQ and fireworks and I got super sick Sunday night and just kind of laid around all day which stunk cause i really wanted to party. And Grandma and Grandpa stayed the night so we could all do the provo celebrations on Monday!!

So we woke up Monday more to go to the balloons but the balloons didn't fly because it was too windy so then they went and got a spot for the parade while i went home to take a nap cause i still didn't feel good and then the jets flying over our house woke me up and i felt much better so I went over to the parade just in time and Anna seemed to love the parade and loved watching everything especially the big blown up characters and all the county princesses. then after the parade we went back to the house to hang out before hitting the booths, there really wasn't anything exciting at the booths just flowers and indian stuff (that is why i love swiss days cause there stuff is so different)
That night we headed up to Heber to Grandma Susans house to have a BBQ and watch Midways firework... then we headed home and off to bed!!

Anna really loved the fireworks this year and getting to hang out with family and friends... I cant wait fore each year to come cause they will only get better the older she gets and know more about what its all about!!
