america the beautiful

We had a great Independence Day!  Jeff gets so excited to do fireworks with the girls and his excitement definitely wears off on the girls.  They get so excited to share the fun with their dad.  We had a great day together and we love having a reason to remember just how grateful we are to live in this great country.

The girls were so excited about having Jeff home for the day.  Heidi had piano lessons in the morning and Jeff was able to take her.  When they got home we went to get some fireworks and walk around the lake.  The weather this summer has been really nice so far.  It was a little rainy and overcast in the morning and only 75 degrees.  It felt great walking around the lake.

We came home and the girls played play dough until it stopped raining enough to do some pop-its and smoke bombs.

In the late afternoon we were invited to a friend's house from our ward for a bbq.  We had a great time and we are so incredibly grateful to have such a

great ward.  The girls did a fun craft there and did some sparklers and pop its.

After the bbq we came home so Jeff could light his fireworks for the girls.  They were so excited about every thing and couldn't believe they got to stay up so late.  It was such a perfect day.  We were all sad to see Jeff go back to work, but we are grateful we had a day together to celebrate our freedom and make some fun memories!
