Independence Day

Our 4th of July was a little bit lazy. We had stayed up late for a couple of nights in a row so we decided to take the morning slow and lazy on over to some friend's for lunch then we went over to Liberty Days (in Liberty UT). There wasn't much going on by the time we got there but the boys got to have their faces painted and they felt like superheroes!!

Annabelle's 1st time trying out a swing. Although the picture may look otherwise, she loved it. Mostly.


Jared was tired of pushing all the kids on the swing and decided he wanted some fun for himself.


Later that evening we headed over to Huntsville for their fireworks and boogied through the night. The girls in the background make me laugh. Looks like Jared has a couple back up dancers.


The boys spontaneously had a major meltdown. We have no idea what caused it but it seemed pretty serious. To them, anyway.


Aunt Susie offered them a tic-tac if they'd smile and apparently it worked. Jackson got his groove on and put all of us dancing fools to shame.


Doing the worm


Annabelle just couldn't figure out why nobody would let her go to sleep!


We love the 4th of July. We feel lucky to have spent a few back East where our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence and to have been able to see so many awesome historical sights where it all began. It makes us miss VA and Washington DC very much but we also LOVE having family to celebrate with. Not to mention the awesome Utah weather!!!
