Happy 24th of July!!

This morning we went to see the Ivin's 24th of July Parade. There is Janika waving on the float sitting next to Cameron Bronson (who plays Gavroche in Les Miserables). They are representing Tuacahn in the parade.

Our other kids had fun gathering up all of the candy that was thrown out. Jared and Jase were the fastest and I was proud with how well they shared the candy with Janelle, Jaiden, and Josh. When the kids got home they had their own little parade in the front yard. They rode their big wheel or bike and threw out candy to each other and the neighbor kids. Cute!

My Uncle Merrill called and said they were down staying at their vacation home and invited us to come swimming. So we enjoyed swimming and visiting with Merrill and Lorrie and my cousin Katie's family. Rick and Janika were in the show tonight. They always do fireworks after the show but tonight they did extra. It was a fun day!
