On our way from moving from OR to NC, we were able to stop in Utah for a few days and visit with family. We had a ton of fun and the kids loved being with all their cousins. We were there for the 4th of July and below are a few pictures. We tried to keep it a little low key since we would be traveling again the next day.
What's better than going swimming with cousins, sipping pina coladas and then watching a few little fireworks?
Above Katie, Annie, Jane, Tori, Tess and James getting ready to watch some fireworks. Below, John and his sister, Carol set off a few little fireworks. Our kids thought they were pretty cool, since they are used to going to firework shows when we lived in Iowa, so they haven't really seen too many fireworks up close.
Everyone loved the sparklers. James was mesmerized by his, since he actually got to hold it all by himself.
We also watched the fire burning in the mountains behind Grandma's house. It was a pretty impressive sight, luckily I don't think any people or homes were hurt before they were able to put it out. The kids got a kick out of seeing the airplanes and helicopters flying over it dumping water to put it out.
