4th of July

For the 4th of  July this year we woke up early (for summer anyway) at 8:30 and went to the Murray City parade like we always do. It was an awesome parade this year, but we missed the first part, also, toward the end was the group of zombies again. They were not as scary this year, or maybe we're just braver this year. The best part, according to Gwen was the cute zombie Boy her age that handed her a couple extra pieces of candy. Ahhh, young love.

After the parade, we went home and napped and ate lunch. Then we went to Lagoon. We were afraid it would be very busy, but it was nearly empty. We walked on any ride we wanted without waiting in line. It was so fun. Plus we saw the show we love twice. Gwen went on the double loop roller coaster, the Colossus, for her first time. She is braver than her daddy. Gwen has recently found out that she rather enjoys upside down rides and loves to drag her scary-cat daddy on them to make him cry. She's just like her mommy who also loves doing that to Jonathan.

Paisley loves minions.

Our cat is very patriotic.

Then we grabbed dinner at In-n-out and went to the Layton City Park for their firework show. We met all the cousins there and had fun playing games and talking. We got home super late around midnight and we all loved it.
