Fourth of July

We had a great Fourth of July this year. Our day began with a trip to my Sisters Ward so we could be there for the blessing of Ava. It was a really special experience. Then we left her Ward early so that we could make it back to our Ward for Primary and so on. Nelson and Nikki came to visit us and they were very gracious about us dragging them all over town! After church we went home and got ready for lunch. We had a few friends over and we had a great meal, great conversation and a ton of fun. The menu this year included ribs, rainbow jello and a trifle bar for dessert.

After lunch we played a few games and then headed out to do fireworks. We had a blast and it is always a lot of fun to combine 3 families worth of fireworks. We did decided that maybe we should just buy less of the little stuff and more of the fountains. Those were the favorite all around this year.
