Our 4th Celebration

Ok, well it was actually the 5th, but oh well. It started with Provo's awesome parade. Our great seats were all made possible by that guy, in the BYU sweatshirt, yep, my dad. He woke up at 3am and camped out so we'd have a great spot. He used to be able to just go lay blankets out the night before but now there is a new rule that says you have to stay with your stuff to reserve a spot. Thanks Dad!

I was so excited for Max to see the parade! Fire trucks, horses, cool cars, marching bands, I knew he'd love every second of it! He absolutely loved it and would even wave to the beauty queens as they went by on their floats.

Sadly I didn't take any pictures of the actual parade, so sad, well, here is more of the Fam . . .Enjoying some parade snacks

All the excitement wore him right out. About half way through he started to look like this.
But he cuddled up to his cousin Warren for awhile, so sweet.

In the evening we went to my Grandma's cabin up AF Canyon for a picnic. Here's Max playing with these awesome old trucks that were my Grandpa's.
more fun with the fam . . .
