4th of July...a bit late!

You gotta love summer! (Although not technically my favorite season because I do not like to be sweaty :) I realized I was slacking and hadn't updated about the 4th! We had so much fun. First we started off at my mom and dad's ward pancake breakfast, followed by a BBQ at their house. Hali'a went swimming in a pool grandpa got her while the rest of the kids played on a homemade slip in slide in the front yard. Emma "tricked" me into going outside so her and Jeff could nail me with water balloons, I am sorry I don't have any pictures of that! Jeff let Hali'a try to drink soda out of a can (she didn't get any :) and I do believe she is the cutest thing ever (as are all of our nieces!) After we left my folks house, Lynette and I went to at least 3 different firework stands looking for sparklers. She was totally on a mission, it was awesome and luckily we found some. I think she is a closet pyro! We had a bunch of our married friends from church over for fireworks and were impressed with the punk kids in the neighborhood and their choices of illegal fireworks. Between the crazy neighbors, Knott's Berry Farm, and Disneyland all within view, we had an awesome show. Oh and our dogs didn't even really freak out. :)
