We started the day by enjoying breakfast at our Church Breakfast. The kids put on their 4th of July shirts they had made, mostly by themselves, and off we went.

While we were at the breakfast we learned where the local parade was and followed a couple of people and enjoyed that. Talk about candy! Those parade people threw TONS of candy. Some passed out water and one even passed out popsicles. It lasted for about 2 hours but it was worth it to see one of the Young Women's group float. They made a temple on their float and passed out "Pass Along" cards.
After the parade we went home to cool off and try to get Bracken to take a nap, which of course didn't happen and instead he fell asleep in the 5 minutes before getting to the place for the fireworks. We found a perfect place to sit and wait for the fireworks and this year we were there for about 5+ hours. We always enjoy that though. This year was the easiest we've had for waiting for the fireworks. We have this half tent thingy that provided shade, we brought blankets, food and water in our cooler, a soccer ball, glow sticks and sunscreen. Plus the weather wasn't too bad. It was mostly sunny but not too hot and a nice breeze would blow through now and then. As always, our fireworks were spectacular!
