WE LOVE JULY!!!

Thanks to the Mormon Pioneers we have 2 July celebrations every summer! The first on the 4th of July for INDEPENDENCE DAY. Then on the 24th, we celebrate the pioneers entering into the Salt Lake Valley. Both parties are always, lots of fun.

This year on the 4th there was swimming, a BBQ and fireworks on Grandpa's driveway.

For the 24th, Mom & Dad hosted the combination Birthday party and 24th of July celebration in their backyard. The kids swam in the kids pool and slid down the slip and slide, then we had a watermelon eating contest, a balloon tossing game and a delicious meal of pulled pork sandwiches. After dinner we had our annual 24th of July parade. The kids decorate their bikes, wagons and, this year, their rip sticks and march around the block carrying grandpa's giant USA Flag. Cottonwood Heights has a firework display every 24th that ends the month of celebration perfectly.

It was especially fun to have Brett and Jenn and their family here for the celebration.
ENJOY THE PICTURES below from the festivities!!

HAPPY JULY BIRTHDAY's to ADAM, MATT & ERIN!!!
