The Fourth of July!

The next few posts are my attempt to catch up on a summer full of blog neglecting fun! We spent most days at Cherry Hill, but I don't have one piece of photographic proof of our Cherry Hill Days. Here's the highlights for how we spent the rest of our time (minus the days we sat at home neglected at the beginning of the summer due to a bit of morning sickness and tiredness :) )

The fourth of July was a blast as usual! Great Grandma and Granpa Garner came down from Roosevelt for the weekend since our new cousin Aspen was also blessed that Sunday. Fourth of July is full of traditions for our family. We always start out at the Kaysville Parade in the morning. Head over to Pops and Grams Garners house for a bbq and water fight. This year rather than hitting the usual Kaysville fireworks Uncle AJ put on an equally good fireworks show. Also the night before we headed down to North Salt Lake for their annual fireworks show. My husbands most favorite thing in the world is fireworks, so you can bet we can be found at almost every possible firework show in our area during the month of July!!!
