Let's Not Forget the Fourth

I can't believe that I almost forgot to post about the 4th of July.  Since Leon was the one taking pictures with his camera, I guess I just assumed that life only happens on MY camera.  But, here are the highlights - thanks, Leon.

All of the cousins went to the 4th of July parade and were generous enough to share their loot with us lame-os who didn't go.
Of course, the pool was the favorite place for the kids to hang out.
Me, I preferred the comfort of the deck, which Laurel made look like a picture from "Better Homes and Gardens".
After a great barbecue we headed up to Davis High for fireworks.  We got there early enough for the kids to throw a ball around and for the adults to visit.
Aunt Traci was the glow stick hook-up. (Traci, Cameron and Rex)
Laurel and I had the best view.  Let's just say that there was a "happy couple" next to us that kept things lively.  Hmm.  We were laughing so hard I thought Laurel was going to pee her pants.
Leon tried his hand at capturing fireworks.  He got some pretty good ones.
 The fireworks show was amazing.  Usually, we compare every show to Orem Summerfest and every show falls short.  But, this year Davis High won - hands down.  The show went on for over 20 minutes and just kept getting better and better.

 Happy 4th of July!

This really was a fun day. I'm glad someone took pictures... 'cause I didn't. Which is weird. Leon got some good ones.

The "happy couple" next to us wasn't so happy after they got a face full of grass. I hope a blade got lodged in the ol' larynx. I giggled about that for days. :)
