Our Fourth of July

I love the Fourth of July in Provo.  There are so many fun celebrations going on.  On the Saturday before the 4th we went to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks by the Marriott Center. We used to always go the Stadium of Fire growing up but now that we all have kids we’ve opted out and gone for the alternative.  On the 4th we woke up early and went to the Provo parade which is the best around.  It was nice having my parents save us an awesome spot so we just had to show up and there was a place waiting for us!  After the parade we got together with my family for a picnic in the canyon, then we went home and took naps then we all got back together for more fireworks at my aunt and uncle’s house.

I debated whether I should put this picture up of me because I hate all pictures of my 9-month pregnant body but I figured I’d put it up for posterity’s sake.  Here’s part of our parade group before my sisters and their families got there.  Carly loves her great-aunt Ann, and wouldn’t leave her side.

I couldn’t get a picture of Carly’s face during the parade because she was too mesmerized!

Carly adores her cousins.  She is always asking to play with them.  This is at the park where we had a picnic and I almost died of heat.  I can’t handle being outside in 98 degree weather, especially when I’m already hot all the time anyway!

Carly was a little scared of the ground fireworks we did at my aunt’s and uncle’s house, but Casey loved getting some cuddles out of her.
