The morning of the 4th we got up bright and early and headed out to the Balloon Festival. We didn't have to walk to far and it was nice and cool and a little overcast. When we first got there we found a nice place on the grass a ways from all the action and before we knew it we were right in the middle of all the balloons. The kids loved being so close and seeing all the designs. The festival was going great, til a huge wind gust came through and knocked down everything in a matter of seconds, thus ending the festival on the spot. So we packed up and headed over to the parade route.
Ellie and Cooper were quite content during the parade as long as Coop had food and Ellie could see. Our families highlights were: Ellie's the Little Mermaid float from Tuacahn, Cooper loved the huge balloons, and Dad loved the impromptu BYU Pep Rally!!! The only thing that would have been better would have been an appearance by Jimmer, but I guess he has more important things to do like hang out with Justin Timberlake!! After the parade we headed home for the BBQ and Swim Party at the Heinekins. (sorry no pics from that) The kids were so tired and grumpy they missed the fireworks, but Brady and I enjoyed watching some off our back deck. They were a little to close for comfort for me, but oh well, that's the 4th for ya!!!
