Happy 4th of July!

We started our 4th of July celebrations on the 3rd, since that's when North Salt Lake does their fireworks. We only bought sparklers and Pop It's.

Cambree was pretty impressed with the sparklers...

We ended up going early to get a good spot to see the fireworks but realized we should have brought a game or something to entertain ourselves. We spoiled ourselves and got a slushy which was pretty yummy.

We took a few pictures, which took a whole minute.

Cambree played with Benton's hat for a good amount of time...

But by 9:30pm Cambree was saying to us "Night night time?" She was ready for bed, laying down on us and asking us to "tickle tickle back?" she loves when Benton tickles her back, I don't blame her. Thankfully she stayed up to see the fireworks. We didn't know how she would respond since this was the first year we took her and she really enjoyed it. She kept saying "Sooo pretty".

On the 4th we went down to help my parents unload a small U-Haul. Why you ask? Well my parents moved back from Georgia. I have been so excited to have them back not only in Utah but within driving distance where I can say "I'm coming over, see you in 30 minutes." Ever since I have been married, I've never been able to just drop by my parents house for dinner, to visit, anything. So this is going to be nice for me but our kids so they can actually know their grandparents on my side of the family.

After unloading we went to Goodwood for lunch, it was really tasty!

And of course Miss Cambree. Her headband had fallen off and as you can tell Benton put it back on for her. Not exactly how I would have done it but it worked, we were kinda making fun of her hair and you can tell by her facial expressions she wasn't sure what we were talking about...

After lunch we came home, Cambree and I both took naps...which was really needed.
Benton and I decided on a whim to take Cambree to her first movie, Brave. She was a perfect angel. She sat on our laps the whole time and didn't make one peep.

We made muddy buddies for a get together with our neighbors and I let Cambree have the spatula. She quite enjoyed it by her facial expressions!

We enjoyed going over to our neighbors for a 4th of July celebration. It was fun letting the kids play, even though Cambree was too shy to leave Benton or my side.

Hope you all had a great 4th!
