4th of July Weekend

4th of July Weekend was soooo busy! It was the last weekend that my sister-in-law Paty and her family was going to be in town, so we jam-packed it with fun! And it was super fun! On Saturday we attended the Freedom Festival in Provo. I liked looking around at all the booths and the kids loved the Reptile show! It was very entertaining. The guy presenting was a bit crazy, but lots of fun!

Before the show started they were passing around a snake and both boys wanted to hold it for a picture.

The Kids watching the show

The presenter putting a scorpion in his mouth! Crazy!

Some sort of small crocodile

Cousin Jairo got picked to "help"

At the end he pulled out this huge snake! (I think it is a Python) When the show was over he took the head of the snake into the tent and let all the kids come up and touch the body!

After this was another photo opt. that Benji wanted in on. Man he is one brave 4 year old!

Later that night we went on found great spots to hang out and wait for the fireworks to start. While waiting we did sparklers!

Abby wasn't so sure about them



Then on Monday July 4th we went to the big Parade in Provo. Unfortunately the cousins went to the wrong spot so it was just us, our kids and Nena and Rosi. But the kids still loved it! And even though we were late to get good seats, the kids decided they wanted to be in front, so they took their chairs, wiggled their way up to the front and sat down! And because they are so dang cute, no one said anything and they had great seats!

Their were some great floats! Like this Little Mermaid boat!

With Ariel and Eric at the front!

Kung Fu Panda Float

One of the huge balloons, Scooby Doo!

Then we hit the Freedom Festival again and did some of the things we didn't get too on Sat. Like jump in the Bounce Houses! We also watched some traditional Latin Dancing while we ate lunch (but I forgot to take pictures)

After that we went back to Spanish Fork and took the kids to the Splash Pad!


This was hard to gather them all for a picture, as you can see Abby was not cooperative.

Then for Dinner we headed to the Sports Park for Soccer and a BBQ! This Day was super packed and super tiring, but it was a great way to spend the last day with the cousins that love so much!
