4th of July! ... a little late. :)

We had such a great time on the 4th. We had a BBQ/Swim party over at our house with some of my family (thanks Jeremy for taking care of the BBQing since Clint was working). The kids had a blast together (as usual) and all of us adults had a great time visiting. At about 7:30 Jeremy/Rachel and their kids, Shannon/Jesse and their kids, and Me and the kids (Clint had to work) went up to Boulder City to watch the fireworks show at Veterans Memorial Park. It is fast becoming one of my favorite 4th of July places to go. We met up with Keith/Jeni and their kids, and Dave/Bec and there munchkins. It was an incredible fireworks show! I think the best I've ever seen! Lily wasn't sure if the big ones were going to fall on her so she was a little nervous the whole time. Carson loved them! Emma thought they were pretty great, and we lost Jaron at the beginning of the show (I wasn't worried) but afterwards he said he watched them from the fence and thought they were great! haha. Jeremy brought some fireworks and he did a little preshow w/ all the kids watching intently, on the ball field. It was really nice weather and lots of space to sit on the grass. It really was a nice evening. The sprinklers on the ball field even came on at the beginning of the show making everyone in front of us quickly move... so therefore we had front row seats... along with a nice mist to keep us cool. haha.

After the fireworks, Bec and Dave bravely and graciously took the kids over to their house for a 4th of July slumber party! The kids had a great time!!! Thanks Bec/Dave for the fun!!

It looks like a lot of fun! I have heard that the Boulder city show is really good. I don't know if it would compare to the show in DC or not.
