4th of July!




Well, what a day! Our whole family came out yesterday to join in the festivities! We went to the Tooele parade at 9 am, which was weird because I actually wasn't in it this year with the band! But we had lots of fun, and the parade was just grand! Here's me and Ethan at the parade!
After that, we went to eat as a family at Apollo Burger before we went to see Wall-e! It was such a cute show, we all enjoyed it! Ethan and Stuart had already seen it, but we made them come!
Then came the best part! As a family tradition, we fill up water balloons and launch them down the street! The launcher was a little torn, so our first few tries didn't work, but Mom came to the rescue and sewed it up and it worked like a charm! The neighbors (back behind the cemetary) saw that we were doing water balloons and wanted us to shoot them over there, so we did! The little kids had a fun time!
We started to get nervous when a county sheriff came down the street, but he said it was all good, just as long as we didn't do any damage to property! And, of course, Ethan tried to hit the cop! But we had a really fun time, and got really wet in the process! Unfortunately, I had to go to work at 6 pm and missed the fireworks, but I saw of few of them from work, so it was ok! All in all, we had a wonderful day and we were happy that everyone in the family was able to come!

What a fun day! See, sewing can benefit everyone. Maybe next year your mom will make you a quilted launcher. One can only hope.

Looks like fun, the water ballons are always classic. Although my favorite was still at yellowpine!
