Happy 24th of July!!

So for this holiday this year... It was pretty low key, which is sometimes nice. We didn't go anywhere super exciting but we were able to spend some time together as a family and I always love being able to do that. Brad and I took the girls to the fireworks at Mueller Park on Wednesday night. We thought that they would think that was really cool, because they have never been to see "real" fireworks before. But it was kind of a bust. Emma and Maycee enjoyed rolling down the big hill behind us more than watching the fireworks. When Maycee did stop to look at them, she informed us that they were "ridiculous"(I can't spell how she says it but it is so funny cuz she can't say it right!). So anyway the fireworks are not a big hit at our house. Oh well. I guess they still had fun, thank goodness for grassy hills...nevermind the thousands of dollars spent on ridiculous fireworks...sorry Bountiful City.



Then on Saturday we took the girls to Liberty Park. Our intention was to take them to this new thing there called Seven Canyons. It is this fun little water attraction that is like the wasatch front, all the streams and hills and canyons. But it was closed for repairs...so we stayed there and played in the other water stuff and let the girls play on all the park toys. We had fun anyway, but I was bummed that the original idea flopped. We'll have to try again another time because it looked like it would have been a lot of fun to play on. It was nice to be able to spend the afternoon together away from home though. It doesn't happen often enough, I know that.
