Fourth of July

We went to Richfield for the 4th of July. Josh had lots of fun going on wagon rides, playing with the dog, and playing with Landon. We saw lots of our friends and enjoyed being with family. Josh loved the fireworks on the night of the fourth. He kept oohing, awing, and clapping through the whole production.



Below are two pictures of the hot air balloon festival that they do in Provo over the 4th of July. Jaquel was staying with us for a few days, and that's her with Cliff and Josh . There are about 20 hot air balloons that all inflate and then they take off. They have a competition to see who can land back at the same field and then they try to pop smaller balloons that are in the sky. Our favorite balloon was the piggy bank, which you can see in both pictures. It was an early morning for us, especially Josh as we woke him up at 6:00 am and dragged him with us, but we were all glad that we went and had a great time!
Josh fell asleep during the parade in Richfield on the 4th. Doesn't that look comfortable! The other picture is during the children's parade. I'm pulling the wagon, which Landon and our friend Kayson is riding in. Andrew is carrying Josh because Kayson was too tired to walk. By the time we made it to the park, Kayson was asleep. We had a lot of tired little boys!
