Celebrating Independence Day in Park City, Utah - 2011

This year we went up to Park City to celebrate the 4th of July with the boys.  We were suppose to leave on Friday night after Nick was off work but the stomach flu has been going around our house.  Boston had it the night before we left for Lake Powell.  Unfortunately, Easton then got it while we are in Lake Powell while he was staying with my family in Vernal.  It then traveled throughout my entire family.  Easton was still sick when we got home and was sick with it and throwing up for almost a whole week.  We thought we were in the clearning but then Thursday night, I got the stomach flu. 

Friday night, we went to a viewing for our dear friends (Kenny and Abby's) sweet angel Whitney (http://www.meaningfulfunerals.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=1196655&fh_id=13348).  She will be missed - she was the cutest little one and always always had a smile on her face!!  Til we meet again Whitney!

We were going to head up to Park City that night but then Nick got the stomach flu.  We finally went up on Saturday night.  We ended up having a lot of fun in the short amount of time we were up there.

Boston thought it was so fun to ride the LONG LONG slide down the mountain (and to beat his mom down)!  The only reason his mom lost was because she was trying to take pictures of them going down the mountain and still drive her slide!  Next time ... watch out because I'll leave the camera behind!

The boys loved the POPPERS

On the way to the parade Monday morning

Lovin' the sparklers

We were in the rain a bit during the firework show on Monday night - it didn't damper their spirits any

The fireworks show and a little rain ...

Dancing to the firework music we had in the background while eating some cupcake ice cream that
 Aunt Ry Ry made for Blake's birthday!!

We went on a bike ride with Blake, Rylee, Justin, Brooke, Paxton, Parker, and Paisley from Park City down to Kimball Junction to enjoy a little McDonalds breakfast ;)    ... I'm lovin' it!  (have you tried their Mango Pineapple smoothies)???  MMMM

HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE!!  Thanks to all of our servicemen who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy day to day in this wonderful land that we live in!!  I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!
