4th of July

4Th of July Day

We started the morning off early with a trip to St. George to go to a 7:45 parade.  We were able to get a seat and the front of the parade as well as in the shade.  We were in heaven.  The kids loved it because they got tons of candy and things, and I loved it because it wasn't to hot.  The parade lasted about 30 minutes or so.  We then headed home to pack a picnic and get our fishing gear, 4 wheeler and ranger loaded and go play up in Kolob.  We went with Lisa and Devin's family, and aunt Stephanie.  The weather was perfect, and the company was even better.  We played by the water, played in the toys, and went fishing, and exploring.  The kids with Devin's help caught a really good size fish.  We of course did the catch and release.  The kids were a little sad, but glad we didn't have to kill it.  Landon loved the dirt, and trying to get in the water.  We left around 3:30, to head down the mountain and to grandma and grandpas for a BBQ, and swimming.  We had a fun time and being with family is the best.  Later that night we did some fireworks in front of our house, and the weather was perfect.  We missed going up north to the Monson side, but Deans mom and dad have been having some health problems and they asked that no one come up.  The kids missed the traditions from Centerville, but it was fun to do some of our own new traditions.
