Fourth of July

We had a pretty uneventful Fourth of July weekend. Cache Valley does their big fireworks show on the third and Nick had to work part of the evening so we passed on going anywhere to watch the show. Usually Nick's parents come to Logan and we watch the fireworks from the softball fields at our church, but they decided they didn't want to come this year. Once Nick got home we set up camp chairs outside of our garage and watched the stadium fireworks from the comfort of our own home. It was nice because in Utah the fireworks show starts incredibly late because day light savings makes it so it isn't dark until way past bedtime so by staying home we were able to put Shelby to bed and not have to deal with her grumpiness in public!

Nick made us some s'mores over the stove and Shasta got to stay up late enjoying the fireworks. And apparently the s'mores made her hyper or she was slap happy from being tired, but she was being silly all night; saying goofy things and being extra chatty. I sure love her!

On the actual Fourth we went to a parade in another little town (the name has slipped my mind) here in Cache Valley. It was a pretty low key, small town parade, but it was nice to get to participate in some sort of celebration. Then we went and got ice cream on Saturday and watched the Cruise In which is apparently a tradition since we did it last year too. And that pretty much sums up our 4th of July celebration. Like I said, it was pretty uneventful this year. Hopefully next year we'll get to spend it with family!
