To celebrate our nation's birthday, last Sunday we all wore red, white and blue. But since Scarlett was completely spent after church, we didn't get a good picture... or even a half way decent picture. But I'm still posting this so you can see her darling outfit and pig tails! I love holidays!
On July 4th we headed to Kensington Metropark for some fun in the sun! We were able to celebrate with the Peerys and the Sawayas (from our ward). I realized once we were all there, that each of our families had a graduate from Mountain View High School in Orem - small world!
Relaxing in the shade
Look at those stellar dads!
The beach wasn't too crowded in the morning, but it started to fill up as we were leaving.
Scarlett really enjoyed herself! And none of us got sunburned! Success!
The wind kept blowing our umbrellas over. But as Miss Prepared I actually had some ribbon in my bag, so I was able to engineer a sturdy solution.
That evening Jake and I heard people setting off fireworks outside. So we took our lawn chairs and sat on our back grass. We were able to see 14 independent aerial firework shows! Most were within walking distance. Man, some of these people must have spent some major $$$$ - but we got to watch the shows for free. Well, not entirely for free... it cost me 2 Benadryl and 4 puffs on my inhaler. I'm so weak sauce when it comes to air quality... at least there aren't any forest fires around here!
