This was the first Fourth of July in 8 years that we've been in Utah for. I was so happy to be here this year for it. Although we did really fun things in Virginia, it was fun to be back with family.
We got up early in the morning and went up to the Fillmores for their neighborhood parade. Grandpa Fillmore played the trumpet in a band that was in the parade. It was fun seeing him. Spencer and Andrea were in town from Washington too. So we had a lot of fun together. After the parade we went back to the Fillmores. Grandpa Fillmore pulled out the sprinklers and a slip-n-slide. The kids had a blast.
Amy made this flag blanket and I love it so much. It was the perfect backdrop for Winston's first Forth of July. He looks like such an angel.
After spending the day with the Fillmores, we headed down to Provo to spend the evening with the Hawkins. Almost all of my Hawkins cousins were at my grandparents old home for a big BBQ and to watch the fireworks. It was fun catching up with everyone and being able to show off baby Winston. The boys had a blast. This is one of my favorite childhood traditions. I loved being able to spend it with my kids!
