4th of July

Amanda,
I've attached some pictures from the 4th of July. There is a picture of me with my daughter Mckynlee and then a picture of my 3 kids Brock, Mckynlee and Daxton. Both these pictures are at the parade. We have a friend that bought the old house that used to be an antique shop right there next to Barnes Bank so we sat on her lawn. I hadn't been to the parade in years, and have missed it. So I talked my husband into going, who is very anti-parades, and he actually enjoyed it, though he did think it was too long. I can't believe how big it has gotten. When we were in high school they just thew candy and now my kids were getting balloons and toys. My mom even caught a big teddy bear for my daughter. It was a lot of fun and I wish I had walked around so I could see more people I knew. I loved how perfect the weather was. Usually its so hot at the parade, but the weather was just right. It's not often we are there for the fourth since we live in California. I'm so glad we could make it. In California we aren't aloud to do street fireworks, so my kids love when we come to Utah for the 4th so they can do that. We also went to the Davis fireworks. Besides the technical difficulties I thought they were really good and thought it was cool they added music, I don't know how long they have been doing that. But it was a first time for me. My kids really enjoyed it, even my baby loved it. Anyways, I think its great that your keeping on top of this blog.

Thanks,

Niki (Voorhees) McDowell
