Fourth of July festivities

This was probably the busiest and therefore, the best Fourth of July weekend ever.
On Friday night we went to the Provo festival. Kami and Chip got on a ride and we all had snowcones. Kami loves them! Then again she loves anything with sugar. We then came home and our neighbors got together and provided the children with the best celebration to kick off the weekend. I loved the expressions on their faces when the "big" fireworks went off.
For Saturday, friends of ours offered us free tickets to the Stadium of Fire and of course we could not turn those down! They were perfect; we sat on the lawn and pretty much had front row seats. David Archuleta and Brad Paizley provided an awesome show. Kami was kind of bored during the show but once the fireworks got going, she was in complete awe. My favorite part was the fireworks going off in "tune" to Katy Perry's Firework song and having Kami sing the "ah, ah, ah" part of the chorus. She cracks us up.
On Sunday, we drove up to Aunt JoAnn and Uncle Jeff's house for what we thought was just cousins night for games and more fireworks. As we were playing charades, JD was up and had the family guess that Katie was expecting TWINS this November! We are so happy for you two. They will be absolutely beautiful. The entire family was over so there were about 20 kids and 40 adults. After the big announcement, we all went outside to enjoy more fireworks. So. Much. Fun!
On Monday, we went back up to Salt Lake for a cookout with Aaron and Naida. With our bellies full after a delicious steak dinner, we headed over to the SugarHouse fireworks. Naida had her first snowcone ever; we all had Tiger's Blood with Dirty Cream. The cream part was new to me but oh so delicious!
I love this country and am so grateful to have been blessed with the privilege of calling it home. There is no other place quite like it. God Bless the USA! :D
