We started out our 4th of July celebrations in Malad, Idaho.

They kids LOVED getting all the candy thrown to them from the small town parade. They each came home with a huge grocery bag full of candy

After the parade we went to the park for some fun. The kids each participated in the kids races. I didn't take pictures, but will have to share the video's later. After hanging out at the park for a bit, we headed back to Layton to play at the park there and to find a spot for the Layton Fireworks. 

We first made a stop at the sports store to buy an umbrella for shade

The kids of course had to take a minute and try out the putting course.

Connor sure loves his Alexa

We were running out of things for the kids to do, so we took them to the park to feed the ducks.

Isn't Carson's hair awesome

We all cuddled up and watched the fireworks together. It was the BEST part of the night. We would laugh everytime we saw the RED fireworks....just because. The kids loved it. The finale was the best part. Connor covered his eyes because it was so bright and loud- but he kept peeking out to see. It was a lot of fun.

Both kids were sound asleep before we hit the freeway. Doesn't she look comfortable?

So grateful for the time I got to spend with family on this holiday, and so grateful for our freedom and all the amazing and hardworking soldiers out serving our Country. 

It was a HOT HOT day, and we were all pretty tired by the end of the day. But we had a great time spending time together.
