Our little neighborhood does a big 4th of July celebration every year and because the neighborhood has been developing in the past few years the block party just keeps getting bigger and bigger. This is the 5th year they've done it and it was awesome. They started with a little parade where the kids regaled with their bikes with streamers, balloons and bells. Then we had a flag ceremony and a short patriotic program (complete with firecrackers), and finally a pancake breakfast. There were games for the kids, a temporary tattoo booth, and just time for the kids to play with each other and socialize. It was a perfect kick off to our weekend.

| This is the demonstration that one of our military husbands did for all the kids. He talked about about WWII and how Americans prevailed. To keep their attention he blew all sorts of things up and made everything smoke. It was great. |

| Callum with his new best friends, our next door neighbors. How crazy is this? Their mom and I went to high school together and now we are literally a stone's throw away from each other. And she's not LDS, living in Utah of all places. So fun! |
