4th of July

My internet hasn't been working for the past 5 days so I have alot to catch up on... We had a fun fourth of July! I love this holiday it is definitely one of my favorites! We went to the parade in Ashton with family and then went to the park for lunch. After lunch we floated the river and nearly froze but still had a great time:) To end the day we had a BBQ in the park and watched the fireworks.
Watching the parade: Ashlon, Shaylon, Grace, Emme, Kolby, Max.
A big improvement from last year, Gracee actually went out into the street to get some candy:) She is getting brave.
In this picture Gracee, Shaylon, and Sam (Young) are watching the big army tank drive by.
Emme was pretty excited about the candy.
We probably let Emme eat one too many pieces of candy but she had a pretty tight grip on the few pieces she got!
It was so HOT during the parade that we had to have a sno cone to cool us down...
I thought this picture of Gracee and Ruffin was pretty cute, she loves her daddy!
Gracee got a foam finger from one of the cheerleaders in the parade and Emme thought it was pretty funny to hit Aunt Ollie in the head with it

I love my little family!
HaHa I love this picture of Olivia eating a slurpee, we weren't cold for long after floating the river:)
We went to the park and watched the fireworks with Cherish and Brandon and their family which was really fun, (thanks for sharing your good spot!)
I thought these two looked SO CUTE in their red white and blue dresses! Gracee loved running around playing with Maddy and Greyson!
Emme trying to act so grown up!
My mom, Olivia and I watching the fireworks ( not a good picture, half of my mom's head faded right out, sorry mom) anyway we love watching the fireworks we have been going to see them since I born:)
We got home late and went to bed even later so we were pretty tired by the end of the day but I am grateful that I got to spend the day with family and friends!

What cute pictures. You guys always look so good! And again...you are great with your camera! :-) What setting do you use for the blurred background shots? Is it the auto "portrait" setting or do you set it manually?
