Patty Cakes: Fourth Of July 2013

We had an absolutely fabulous 4th of July. One of my most favorite things about where we live is the 4th of July. We can do all of these super fun activities with in walking distance of our house and we get do it with all of our friends and neighbors. It's truly a magical day.

We started off the day with a potluck breakfast at the parade with some friends.

I made these themed treats that turned out to be a big hit and they were pretty tasty.

Look at that boy! Oh how I love him!

Milo was rather weary of many of the louder parts of the parade but he liked being up close and personal with this marching band.

The whole crew.

These kids make my heart happy.

After the parade we headed over to the park for the Fun Days activities. It was blasted hot but we still had fun. The kids loved the bounce toys and obstacle course but nothing beats a carnival game.

Sitting in the shade after all the fun of the games. Don't they look hot, poor babies?

So we got some yummy lunch and ate in the park.

Olive tried the lime from my limeade. Hehe.

Then it was off to Provo for more fun and food. Here are Olive and Lizzie looking adorable. These two are such cute friends.

Love this sweet girl!

We got out the water toys and slip n' slide which made for quite the fun afternoon.

It was Olive's first time on a slip n' slide and she loved it.

After all the fun we headed back to Murray to get a spot at the park to watch the fireworks. We had quite the crew since my parents, brothers, their friends, Scott's sister and family, and lots of neighbors all joined us. I couldn't help but sit there surrounded by so much love and great people and think of how blessed I am.

Bring on the fireworks!

It was great show as always! Milo didn't really last and after a long and busy day he had a major tantrum as we were trying to go home. It was a bit stressful but it wouldn't be an outing with Milo without a tantrum.
