Is it the Wedding?

Me: Not yet. It's the 4th of July today.
E: Will there be princess fireworks?

Me: oh boy. I hope so. We'll see.


We had a great 4th. In Utah it lasts all weekend because fireworks aren't considered keeping the Sabbath I guess.
We had our own private family firework show on Saturday, which Taj and Eden just about exploded over. Taj especially. I worry about him already with the play with fireworks stage coming.
On Sunday we went to Park City for the big family celebration. Apparently our little show wasn't enough. The kids were still into it.
My aunt Rose sets lady bugs free as part of her 4th of July tradition. While all the kids squealed and laughed at having hundreds of lady bugs around Taj and Eden lovingly looked at the little bugs and were very respectful.
We love "fire wands". Eden coined that one. I'm loving the part of parenthood where we get to watch our kids discover holidays and fun new things like fire on sticks and loud pops. It makes it all so so worth it.

Happy 4th of July!

we tried to keep the sabbath. went to watch the big ones at turtle bay and then a guy gave my kids a morning glory so on our way home we stopped at the beach and we let them have at it.
and that was it.
but it was nice.
yours sounds so much cooler.
