Our 4th of July Activities!



We had a great 4th of July weekend! We were really busy and had a lot of fun. On Friday the 4th we started it off by going to the Meadows 4th of July Celebration. There we played games like bowling, horse-shoes, and slid down the blow-up slide. The kids received lots of little fourth of July prizes for playing the games.

Then later that day we had a couple of families from our ward over to have a BBQ. We had lots of food, fun games, and enjoyed watching all the kids playing together. It is great to interact with other families that have the same standards that you do and that are a positive influence of your children.

That night we went to watch the Castle Rock fireworks. We found great seats, had lots of popcorn, and excited kids. Before the fir works show there were some kids setting off their own little fireworks that Ethan thought was cool, and Ciara kept saying pretty. When they begin to shot off the big ones Ciara did not think they were that pretty. She snuggled with her dad and was perfectly happy. Ethan loved naming the colors and shapes of the fireworks.

Our other 4th of July project was painting my loft and stairwell. In our spare time this weekend we took everything out of the playroom, painted, and began putting everything back together. Now every wall in my house is painted. It feels great to accomplish something, and improve the look of your house plus it is a great opportunity for Seth and I to talk and spend time together.
