Fourth of July

Every year we go up to Bountiful to watch the fireworks with Justin's family. They do their big show on the 3rd. So, we headed up there for a fun night filled with family and fireworks! Little kids always love the glow in the dark stuff, and Aunt Jeri was nice enough to buy Austin a light saber thing! (So just for that she gets to be in a movie on my blog! And yes, Austin has a "leash" on...I wasn't about to risk losing him in that mass of people!)
The fireworks were great, as usual. I wish that I could tell you this picture is of Austin being excited to watch the fireworks, but I am pretty sure it is just pure fascination with his light saber!

On the Fourth of July we stuck closer to home, and went to the Western Stampede Rodeo here in West Jordan. We convinced Justin's mom, Jason, Jenn, and their family to come along! It was pretty fun...except for having to wrangle a 2 year old the whole time!

Overall, we had a very enjoyable holiday. We were able to spend time with each other and remember how truly blessed we are to live in this country!
