Our fourth of July was PACKED with fun!
We started our day as we do every 4th...
getting up at dawns early light...
5:30 to be exact. I love hot air balloons on the 4th of July.
This was the 25th year of the Freedom Festival balloons. I remember as a child hearing the announcer from our home on Grandview and running out to our deck to watch the balloons fly over the house.
Annual breakfast...

The Parade...
Grandma Blackham was in the parade!
Then off to the Porter's party...
Great BBQ!
A beautiful memorial for Don...not a dry eye in the house.
Water games...
Ashlyn going down!
Ashlyn LOVED the dunk tank.{we just noticed huge bruises on her legs from being dunked too many times!}
After a FULL day of activities, we still had one more place to go...
Stadium of Fire, featuring the Jonas Brothers and SHeDAISY. Oh, and don't forget the world award winning FIREWORKS!
Watching for KEVIN JONAS!!!!{Ash's favorite}
I have to admit...I really like the Jonas Bros music.
Sam is also now a closet Jonas fan... shhh... don't tell anyone ;)
The whole gang.
F-16's. The Pilots were just back from Afghanistan.
Lacie and Chase
Happy Birthday America. I am so proud to call you my HOME.
HOME of the FREE, HOME of the BRAVE!

how fun! I love those kinds of family traditions!
This looked like my perfect day. I loved being in Provo for many reasons but the freedom festival was always awesome along with good friends who include everyone. Next year I'm going to the Porter's for sure!!
