4th of July

We had a great Independence Day. We started out the day by going to Provo's Freedom Festival parade. Some friends of ours always stake out a spot 3 or 4 days in advance (we are glad SOMEONE is willing to do it!). So we took our offering of grapes and watermelon to the campers and had a wonderful time watching the parade. It is about 2 hours long and has everything from floats to F-16 fly-overs to the Berg Mortuary horse drawn herse (say that 5 times fast). Tate especially loved the many high school bands and Remy liked the HUGE Bob the Builder and Garfield balloons.

Then I drug Darrin and the boys (no, not drugged) to the Colonial Days festivites. We saw the printing press where there is a replica of the Gutenberg Press. Remy signed his name on a replica of the Declaration of Independence, and we saw some Minutemen shooting off their black powder guns. It was fun, but very hot!!!

Later in the evening after some great naps we set off some fabulous fireworks selected by mommy (sarcasm, anyone?) and Remy and Tate tried their hand at sparklers. The boys loved the fountains and sparklers so much Remy begged to do them again for the next two nights and we had to convince him to wait for more firworks until the 24th.

Our House Update...

We are in the process of having our house built. It should be done the end of September or First of October. We have been having lots of fun visiting each Saturday to see the progress. The boys love "exploring" and Remy has been very keen on learning how things are built and put together. Here are some pictures. We'll keep you posted!
