Our celebrating started on the 3rd when we all painted t-shirts to wear to the 4th of July parade. We had the kids put their handprint and the year on the back of their shirts. I love how Jonathan's turned out. Then we let them decorate the front any way they wanted. Afterwards, Jonathan, Nic and Alyssa played in the sprinklers to cool off.
The morning of the 4th, we woke up early to go to the parade in Murray. Let me just say that this parade has gone downhill fast. There was only 1 marching band, and a couple Pipe bands. The rest was businesses and political candidates. Yeah, they throw a lot of candy, but I'd rather buy the kids a bag of candy than sit in the sun for a boring parade. Still, the kids did have fun chasing candy.
One of the highlights of the holiday is having Aunt Kerri visit. She is like the big sister Jonathan never had. They tease each other just like siblings, but Jonathan loves it when she visits. Later that evening, after naps, we went back to Great Grandma's and set off our own fireworks. Once it got dark we had the best seats for Murray city's fireworks show.

Murray?!? Where is your Lehi spirit? Too bad about the Murray parade - when I lived in Midvale that was the spot to go on the 4th.
Great pictures!
It was fun to have Kerri visit. The shirts turned out way cute. But really, you need to come to the ward slip and slide next year. ;)
Rachel, Kerri was ready to steal Ella and take her home. She tried to get Jonathan to help her, but he wouldn't. ;) We're definitely doing the ward party next year.
