4th of July Celebrations

Mike went out of town to Alaska on the 4th so we started our celebrations early. It started with the Balloon Fest in Provo. This was a lot of fun, we were so close to the balloons that we could feel the heat. Mike had to work that day so the girls and I put everything together for a BBQ. We had Uncle Dave and Aunt Jessica along with our really good friends Tim and Holly Shanto (don't forget Baby McKenzie due November). Then we made some homemade Ice Cream and did fireworks. The girls really enjoyed this. But Ginger, our dog, didn't like it so much she is afraid of fireworks. Then the next morning we went to Utah Lake for some boating. We spend the whole day on the lake and we have the sunburn to prove it. All the boys had fun on the tube getting thrown around. Mike tried to surf behind the boat but he didn't quite get it. But the best was Addie learned how to water ski. She did great, it only took her about 10 times. Way to go Addie!! This year we finally got Brianna and Rachael out on the tube and they loved it, they kept asking daddy to go FASTER! FASTER! Rachael's favorite thing to do is do cannon bombs off the side of the boat. We all had a wonderful 4th. Hope you all had a great holiday, also. Please enjoy the slide show of our 4th of July Celebrations.
