The 4th Of July

As usual, with the busy-ness of life, we tried to make our holiday weekend as simple as possible.
We started celebrations early with a night at the Riverton Rodeo the week before...

The night before the fourth, we hung out with some friends for some fireworks and popsicles...

On Independence Day, rather than fighting the crowds and the heat at the parades, we headed to the movies instead.  The girls love going to movies and Despicable Me 2 was a fun one to see...

Then that night we met up with The Payne Clan for a BBQ and a Bee's Game.  It was a lot of fun and we couldn't ask for a better way to spend the 4th...

The next day we headed to Brigham City for my nephew's 5th Birthday Party... and what a party it was!  My sister should be a Professional Party Planner...her parties always look as though they have been professionally done and this one was no exception.  Having a Pirate theme, this party was complete with a real pirate to entertain, a pirate ship bounce house, more food and candy than any kid could ever imagine, and much more.  The girls had a blast and they are still talking about it... 

We had a great holiday weekend... including a date night with my brother and his wife (thanks to my in-laws!).
