July was another fun month of summer playing for us. We finished off our trip at grandma's and headed home just in time to see the fireworks at the stadium. We also celebrated the fourth with some fireworks at home. Before we left grandma's we made one quick stop at the hot air balloons at the Provo Freedom Festival. The kids had a great time watching the balloons go from dead on the ground, to full blown, to up in the sky. K was pretty excited to see the famous Darth Vader balloon.
Once we were home from all our traveling, it was time for the kids to have their annual swimming lessons. Both K and B were able to take lessons while A sat with mom in the balcony. The place we go is pretty nice in that if you are taking lessons, you are also able to use their outdoor pools both before and after lessons if you want. This turned out to be a lifesaver for A since she really loves to swim and wanted to get in the water for lessons. If there were no swimming before and after, she would have been a wreck!
B was also able to have her birthday party (finally) in July. She had a water party at grandma's house-since she has grass and we don't! All of little girl friends were able to come, cool off in the water, get candy, and decorate cupcakes. She had a lot of fun.
July also brought some more cousins that we have not seen in a long time. They came up to our house this time and it was nice to see them.
Lastly, we finished off the month celebrating Pioneer Day with the ward. After the annual breakfast, the kids got to be in their very first parade. The older ones decorated their bikes to ride through the crowd and the little ones got to throw candy from the four wheeler with dad. It was made even more fun by having some cousins there to join in the parade. That was our July in a nutshell!
