what a wonderful independece day. it's probably my favorite out of all holidays! this year we decided to buy the matching flag shirts from old navy and i'm pretty happy with that decision, we looked pretty cute if i do say so myself!
anyway...onto the festivities!
kaysville is always my favorite place to spend the 4th of july. i have grown up going to that parade and the fireworks at davis high. i'm glad that we have pretty much kept up that tradition with our own little family. we headed over to the parade and got ready for some fun! the parade this year was so long! it was almost 2 hours!! the kids loved it. they got some candy and random junk and you would have thought they won the lottery.
we had a small barbeque after the parade and played some baseball. then it was time for fireworks! the best part of the whole day. kaysville puts theirs to music and i always get chills watching them. another excellent show put on by k-town, the fireworks went on for about 30 minutes!
as much fun as the parade and fireworks are, i can't forget how important it is to remember the people who serve our country every day, and sacrifice so much so that we can have freedom. when i think about the time they give up with their families and the holidays and special occassions they miss so that i can live my life, it always brings tears to my eyes. it truly is the land of the free because of the brave.
here are a few snapshots from our day...
