4th of july

we started our day by going to the provo parade

it's a pretty big deal and we were lucky enough to find decent seats

and have some friends join us 

 we are so grateful eleanor is feeling better today

 it was such a cool parade

there was no candy which the kids weren't thrilled about

but it was really patriotic and we liked that

 only in utah :) 

then we ate cafe rio, went to scheels and ikea 

then came home and put the little girls to bed and started the night with pop-its

when some of our friends drove by and we invited them over

we had an impromptu party

with chips and salsa, fruit wands, mini tacos, watermelon, lemonade

and brownie sundaes for dessert

 michael and trent had fun lighting fireworks together

 hazel and her best friend lily 

 hazel loved dancing with the sparklers

michael and i agree it was one of the best 4th of julys we've ever had

thanks for coming over, mcneils! 

and thank you olive and eleanor for sleeping through the festivities this evening!!
