4th Of July

Yesterday we headed up to St. George to celebrate the 4th of July.

Megan's birthday is on Monday so we were able to celebrate it a little early with my mom. She received new flip-flops, sunglasses, a purse, and a new swimming suit from her grandma and grandpa. She couldn't have been happier. By the way, this is now Jackson's favorite pose in any picture we are taking.

Eric, Sadie (who would not look at the camera), my Mom, Ken, Megan & Jackson.

Later on we went downtown to watch the fireworks. There were booths, games, and some great water features that the kids could play in while we were waiting.

Sadie could not keep her little eyes open a minute longer. It was a very big day for her. It was also her half year birthday so you know she was exhausted from partying so much. It was her first time watching fireworks so I had no idea how she was going to react. To my pleasure, she did great. The noise wasn't too bad and she seemed mesmerized by all of the colors.

While we were watching we were suddenly sprayed with water. It turns out the sprinklers were never turned off, so all of us sitting on the field got a nice cool down about half way into the show. Luckily they were turned off pretty quickly. Truth be told, it was quite funny watching everyone (myself included) gather up all their belongings and run. We had a great time.
