July Holidays

4th of July is truly one of my favorite holidays! It is just a stress free fun day that I get to spend with my family. I love that it fell on a Sunday this year becuase we were able to party all weekend. Saturday we started off with a yummy breakfast at my parents house. Than we went and played tennis with the kids. We gave the kids a mini tennis lesson first and than went off to play on the playground with Grandma and Grandpa while we played some mixed doubles. I miss playing tennis so much!Than we went back to my parents and went swimming. This was Danny's first time in the pool. After the initial shock of getting wet he actually really liked it. Looks like we have another water baby :)That night we went over to the Mason's and enjoyed dinner and fireworks!Sunday we got to celebrate Robs birthday and we also did more fireworks that night. Than on Monday we took the kids to the parade and the carnival. I must admit I really hate carnivals, but since everyone else was going I thought I would go. Yep its true I still hate carnivals and Aspen was to young to really enjoy it anyway. It was long, hot and she couldn't really see anything. But the carnival was awesome and there were so many fun things for the kids to do! All and all 4th of July was just as fun as I remember it being in the past!July 24th was a lot of fun to! I am so glad we get to do fireworks twice in Utah. We spent the day with the Masons. We had a yummy bbq dinner and than played games. Than we lite fireworks in the front yard! We had a blast and Aspen of course loved the fireworks, from a distance :)
