Our 4th of July was a great day. We left the house about 6am to make it to the balloon launch. We found a great parking place and didn't have to walk far. The temperature was perfect about 70 or so and didn't even need a jacket. It was a beautiful morning and being there with all the people made the morning feel festive and exciting. From there we went out to breakfast and ended up at Cracker Barrel. The funny thing was we pulled into the parking lot just in time to see my oldest brother Jeff and his family getting our of their car. They had gone to see the balloons as well and had a hankering for cracker barrel. We don't see each other often, so if was fun to sit down and have some time to really talk. Breakfast was good and the company even better.
After breakfast we headed home to put Kate down for a nap and lay around a bit ourselves. After lunch and a nap for everyone(one of the highlights of the day), we headed over to my parents for what else? A BBQ! We had good food and the kids did a little swimming while the adults tried to stay cool. It was also a special day because Thursday my Mom finished her last radiation treatment. the last several months of Chemo and radiation have taken their toll on her but she was strong and finished. Go Mom!
After dinner we did some fire works and sparklers and managed not to have any incidents. Then we headed home to do more fireworks with our neighbors.
When we finally crawled into bed I was happy and content with the day we had. If only the kids would sleep in, in the morning. Nope, no such luck.
Pictures to come...they wouldn't upload :(

I'm so glad that your 4th was good. We had a good time as well. Had a ward breakfast and a lazer show for our fireworks. It was cool.
