4th of July!

We had a blast this 4th of July! First we went to the parade in Riverdale, the boys loved trying to catch candy and watching the floats, it was really really busy though. Then we walked over to the park for Old Glory Days. Carson got to dunk our friend Ammon in the dunk tank which he though was awesome! Carson threw 4 balls and was so close to hitting the target I was impressed, then we ran up and pushed the button and he fell in, the splash was so big me and Carson got soaked also!

Then we went and won 2 fish that the boys named Nemo and Dory (of coarse) and came home for some down tme. We played in the backyard.

Me and Gavin!

Me and Carson!

We played in the sprinklers and had popsicles! Then we watched a movie while waiting for the fireworks.

After the movie we went into the backyard because fromt there we can see South Ogden and Riverdale fireworks. The boys were pretty scared because earlier in the week they had a bad experience so at first they were both scared.Since Carson had surgery on his ears the week before they were still sensitive so I put some ear plugs in and he fell asleep.I decided to try earplugs on Gavin also and within minutes of putting them in he fell asleep also.Earlier in the week we had been watching fireworks with friends when one of the 150ft ones tipped over and shot at the people watching. Carson was hit in the face and clothes but wasnt burned, Me and Taron had burns on our clothes but Gavin got some hair singed off in the shape of a circle.and he got a 2nd degree burn on his leg, this pic is after it started healing, it left a little scar but luckily no one was seriously injured, the boys are really scared of fireworks now so I am REALLY glad they are over for this year! It was a fun 4th of July!
