Fourth of July

All of us enjoyed a weekend full of family and friends. Friday morning we went to Heber and had a BBQ with the Draper clan. Nikki and the kids were visiting and it was so good to see them. Jake and Stevie love to be with all of their cousins.

While they all went to see Miley Cyrus at Stadium of Fire, we came home and had a neighborhood BBQ. I could not get any pics of Jake...he was just having too much fun to hold still.

We were thinking about taking the kids to see the fireworks show in Park City or Heber, but we changed our mind after they had a blast watching neighborhood fireworks. It was so fun to watch them sit with just each other in the backyard and get so worked up. They would see some fireworks, then stand up and do a scream/dance combo for about 30 seconds. Such joy in simple things. We lit some sparklers for them and a few fountains. Jake loved this, but Stevie was a little frightened. She preferred to see them up in the sky for sure.

Then we all slept well...
