4th Of July

Happy Independance Day, all!! Our little family had such a good time last night. My dad, Mike and his wife Tammy are down here from Brigham City for a little vacation. They have a time share that they use in St. George each summer. We invited them over for a BBQ and to watch fireworks last night. I took TONS of pictures. (check out the slide show.) When Mike and Tammy showed up, we ate ribs, potato salad and chips. Then we let the kids play with sparklers for a while. I found a slow setting on my camera and it made it look like the kids were making fire ropes. Once it started getting a little darker, we lit a small variaty of fountain fireworks in our back yard. After those were all done, we moved to the front yard, ate icecream sandwiches and waited for the big fireworks to start. Enoch puts on an amazing firework show every year. I'm so impressed with them for being such a small town. The kids had a blast. "Ooos" and "Ahhhs" after every one. Lilly would scream "My favorite color!!" after every firework that was set off. Matthew wasn't too sure about the ones that were really loud, but he found a nice safe spot on dad's lap and he was good. After the show, we went back into the house for a while to talk and Mike and Tammy got the kids all wound up. They had such a good time. After they got them all wound up and tired out, Tammy and Mike tucked the kids into bed. The kids thought that was such a treat. It was such a fun night. We are all going to go down to St. George tomorrow to go swimming at the condo that they are staying at. The kids are really looking forward to it.
