Fourth of July Weekend

We had a great weekend!  We got to spend lots of time together as a family.  Saturday was a busy day working around the house and running errands.  Sunday was a typical day, lots of meetings for Andrew and church in the afternoon.  That night we sat in the front yard and watched fireworks while visiting with neighbors.  Ella and Cameron were pretty excited to stay up late watching fireworks, but they were even more excited to have a campout under the stars with their daddy.

 We started the day off with some red and white striped pancakes.

 Then we lounged around all morning watching cartoons and netflix.

 After that we played "tackle daddy".

 After a day of lounging we went to IHOP for dinner.  Isn't she cute?

 She is a total daddy's girl.

 I love this little guy.

Cameron thought it was pretty funny to take his crayons for a swim. 

After dinner we had a summer storm and got this pretty rainbow.

 We also did a little bike riding.

 Cameron really likes Ella's bike...

And so his bike usually sits like this or Ella rides it if she is willing to share her bike with her brother.

 Ashlynn loves to watch her big brother and sister.

 My boys.

 Once it got dark we had a neighborhood fireworks show with some great friends.

 Ooh, aah...

Ashlynn even enjoyed watching them. 

 It was pretty cool to watch since aerial fireworks are legal now. 

 Our show lasted for about an hour and a half and we still didn't get through all the fireworks that everyone brought.

 Good thing July 24th (Pioneer Day - a Utah holiday) is right around the corner.

Thanks for an awesome show guys.
