4th of July

 Here we are getting ready for the parade.  Note the anticipation on our faces.  This is our serious parade faces.

We enjoyed the patriotic parade elements.  It is always great remember the founding of our country and the great men involved.



 Different vehicles passed by to represent the different public organizations around the county.

This was one of the several award-winning floats passing through the street.  It was a cool float, but it didn't really inspire me to change over to Central Bank.

 Its always great to see the BYU football truck, it reminded everyone that BYU football starts in less than 2 months.

All the guys watching the parade thought about the upcoming BYU football season.

After enjoying the parade, we went over to my sister's home in Harvest Hills to barbecue some steak and enjoy some fireworks put on by Justin and April.

The fireworks are just beginning, but Justin and April had them going one right after another.  It sounding like a war zone....

Good stuff.  Eat an awesome steak and relax in front of the fireworks.

Winnie keeps taking my picture.

 The nieces, nephews, and their friends found the glow sticks and fashioned some cool glowing jewelry.

It looks like I am fading out of the picture with the glow of the fireworks.

 Notice all the fireworks in the street, this was only the beginning.

 April and Justin, the pyromaniacs who put on and paid for the awesome fireworks.

Love the aerial firework display.  I got a crook in my neck watching the cool fireworks everywhere.

After the show.
Notice the two large boxes and the cool fireworks that were exploded.
Nice.

 Here I am with Dylan--one of the glow stick jeweled nephews.

Just hanging with the guys. From Left, Mike, Chris (brother-in-law), Justin (the pyromaniac), and myself on the end.

Oh yeah, this is celebrating Independence Day.
