Dan, Benjamin, and I had a fun 4th of July celebration!! On Thursday morning we woke up early and went to watch the balloon fest! It was really cool. They blow up tons of big hot air balloons, and then play games!

The crazy part was that one of the balloons actually crash landed!! It made KSL news and everything, but luckily no one was seriously injured! We feel cool that we saw it all happen :)

On Friday Dan didn't have work, so we got to spend the whole day with him! That was very nice for both Benjamin and me! We spend the holidays with both of our families! While at my parents' house we stopped at a ladies house that was selling baby boy summer clothes and bought Benjamin a bunch of stuff! Here is one of the cute summer outfits we got him!
Friday night we went and watched fireworks! I was a little nervous that Benjamin was going to freak out, but he loved them!! He loves lights and colors, so I should have known! He just sat in his carseat and stared at them!!
Saturday, the actual holiday, was fun too, but for some reason I didn't take a single picture! Probably because we were too busy having fun with family. Saturday morning we went to a big Bradley family reunion. It was so much fun, good food and fun games!! We got to see lots of family we haven't seen in awhile!
Saturday afternoon Anna and her kids came up and we spent time with them, Krystal and her family, and my parents. Then in the evening we went and spent a few hours with Dan's family. We set off fireworks in front of their house! This is the first year that Parker has come outside to enjoy the fireworks, so we were all very proud of him!! It was a great evening!
We sure are grateful to live in this amazing country, to enjoy freedoms and blessings that many don't have throughout the world! Even when times are hard, we really are so blessed and have so much!!
Fun fact: July 4, 1776 is the date the Declaration of Independence was APPROVED, not signed!
