Summer lovin, had me a blast! 4th of July parade......

Every 4th of July for the past 3 years we have been going Evanston Wyoming to spend the day with my Brother Chris and his family.  Well this year we had to make different plans because Chris and his family moved to New Mexico.  We had a great time, but nothing compares to going to Evanston to see the thousands of fireworks being lit off all throughout the day.  Matt was pretty bummed. =(
This year we went to the Kaysville parade with Matt's sister Rachael and her family.  Thanks Jason and Rachael for going early and saving a spot!  I'm so glad they did it was packed.  It was a very good parade lasting a couple of hrs.  There was so much candy!  The girls loved it!  After the parade we went around the park and let the kids do the jumphouses and slides which were free.  Awesome!!!
Later that day we went to our friends house Rob and Melanie.  Rob and Matt watched the kids while Melanie and I went and saw Eclipse.  What great husbands we have!  Eclipse was awesome, and i'm so glad I saw it.  Later that night we were able to go out on Rob and Melanies backyard and watch the fireworks that were being lit off in the Hooper park just down the street from them.  They were pretty good fireworks!  Still nothing compares to Evanston fireworks...well maybe except the stadium of fire fireworks show!

This Helicopter, the people in it to throw candy out for a game, and to land:

The girls excited that the helicopter had landed:

Waiting for the game to begin.  The game of tons of people running onto the field to get as much candy as they can.  No the kids we thought were to little, and we didn't want them to get hurt.  It was crazy watching the massive herd of people run to get the candy though!
