4th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend. On Saturday, we decided to let Eric go see the movie Cars. We went with his cousins, Tucker and Thad. I thought that since Eric will sit through a movie at home, he would be good at the theater. Zac decided to stay home with Aubrey, we knew better than to take her. We only made it about an hour into the movie before we had to leave. Eric had discovered the stairs with lights, and really enjoyed standing on the rail that was in front of our seats. Later that night we went to Stadium of Fire. Dad stayed home and watched Aubrey while Zac and I took Eric. Eric was asleep by 8pm on our laps during the whole show. (John Millburn, we saw you looking for your seats. We were sitting below you.)

On the 4th, we went to the parade. Zac's cousin Brian spent the night to save our seats. The parade seemed to go by pretty quick this year. We had a lot of shade, and the kids sat almost the entire time. Aubrey was really cute, she would wave at everyone, and would dance to the high school bands. The provo fire truck stopped right in front of us and turned on their hose. We were soaking wet. This poor kid next to us was asleep on the blanket, and woke up dripping. After the parade, we went to Zac's Uncle Cory's house for lunch and to hang out. The kids loved playing with the slip 'n slide.

At night, we went to Dad's house and had another BBQ with everyone. After the BBQ they decided to do fireworks. (It is only 5:00 pm) This is the way that we did fireworks all growing up, when it was still light out, so that the kids wouldn't have to stay up late. The little boys had a lot of fun watching the fireworks. Dad left late last night to go to NYC to see Justin and Lisa.h Nathan and I had to work early this morning, so it was actually pretty nice to have all the fireworks finished by 6:00pm. Bobby had made really cute matching outfits for Aubrey and Norma, but all of my pictures of them together turned our blurry.
