This Fourth of July weekend was full of all your tradition components: hot-air ballons, flu-like symptoms, and more marching bands than you can shake a tuba at. Chad has been on a balloon kick, so we knew he'd love freedom festival hot-air balloon show. We left the house early and planned on driving over to the soccer field, but were surprised to find a giant Tony the Tiger balloon landing just across the street from our house. Chad was a little bewildered, but quickly started bubbling over with excitement. From there we squeezed into the last remaining spot along the parade route and watched what seemed like a marching band festival. The music was good, but didn't take long before we were all bored, including Chad. Unfortunately, Mark was pretty sick the whole weekend, so he really had to suck it up to get on with the show. We ended the night by taking Chad up to Rock Canyon Park to watch the fireworks. Chad loved 'em and wouldn't stop saying "Pireworrrks."

Lainey loved the fireworks, too, until she grabbed a sparkler that was still hot. Then she wouldn't stop talking about how she got burned and showing everyone her blisters.
I'm glad you had a fun Fourth of July!
Bet you all had a great 4th! (Maybe except for Mark). Glad Chad had a fun time. Glad Mark's better!
What a choice family!
