The 4th

Matt and I deserve bonus points for being good parents - we made the annual trek downtown for the parade!  Traditions are important, right?!  Our youngest four were excited to go.  Our oldest was trying on some tween angst and informed me he didn't want to spend his time at the parade.  I told him that was too bad because he was going anyway!

It was a gorgeous and sunny day.  The parade made quite the impression Lincoln, in particular, who came home and drew a picture that (loosely) represented the dog, moose, motorcycle, and firetruck he saw at the parade.  Apparently those were the four largest impressions made on the little tyke!

Front row seats:


6 out of the 7 of us in one shot!


Later in the afternoon we stopped by a picnic someone from our ward was throwing.  The little people enjoyed some time on the playground and we all enjoyed the chance to have some picnic food with minimal effort!  Always the advantage of a potluck style gathering, right?!

We wrapped up the day with some pool time.  It was about 80 degrees out still in the evening.  Crazy!
