4th of July

A long time ago when I was still in high school we stayed in Vegas for the 4th of July and went to the parade in Boulder City. I will never forget that 4th of July because that is the year we swore that we would never miss a Utah 4th of July ever again. The parade sucked, it was so miserably hot, we all got sunburned and a couple of us got heat stroke. We were all miserable! So this year when we were talking about staying here in Vegas for the 4th I got so sad because the 4th of July is my favorite Holiday and I thought it was going to end up like the one we spent in Boulder City. Luckily... It went much better than I thought! :)

We started with the parade in Summerlin. It was a million times better than the one we saw in Boulder years ago. Plus, it was overcast... no sunburn for me! It was still hot, but much better than having the blazing sun! Our friends Danny and Jessica and Chris and Karen joined us at the parade. It was lots of fun!

Kaden didn't like the fire truck sirens!

I tried to take a picture of Ryan and Kambree but they were to interested in the parade. Maybe Karen got some good ones.

Mmmmm... watermelon!

After the parade we had a BBQ at Brian's parents and did a lot of swimming. (sorry no pics, I hate it when that happens!) Once it got dark we went to the new house to watch the fireworks over the whole city from our balcony! It was so cool! We have the best view! Kambree was scared of the fireworks and quickly fell asleep. Then we lit the fireworks Brian got from the Indian reservation. Even though we didn't go to the Stadium of Fire and spend time with our family in Utah, I still really enjoyed spending the day with our friends and our family here in Vegas. It was a great day!
