Happy Fourth of July!

This morning we went to our ward breakfast at the park. Aiden was happy there were balls to play with.

Mom, Mandy and I had a girls’ trip to the Great Mall and went shopping. Mandy and I have definitely ended up with much the same fashion sense.

Aiden took a nap, Mandy and I painted our nails, Isaac got to come home early from work, and we had a family dinner.

We went to the home of a family in our ward to watch fireworks. Aiden was pretty enthralled… with the dogs, the tetherball, and also the firecrackers…

That’s Mandy… she wasn’t quite fast enough…

Legal in our city? No… but these big ones were fun to watch over the trees…

We’re sure grateful to live in America! Land of the free, home of the brave… can you believe he smiled like this for the tripod? lucky.
