Our Fourth was pretty relaxing this year. I woke up and ran a 5k. I was going to run more, but my legs were still so tired. I didn't realize they were still sore until I started running.
For lunch we headed down to Zac's Uncle's house. The kids had so much fun there! He had sprinklers set up under the trampoline, a wading pool and a hose with fun sprinklers attached. They played outside for hours.
Lily and Jennifer spent most of their time in the wading pool with cousin Jack.
The kids loved chasing the dogs around the yard. Cory set a chair up in the yard, and Lily pulled the chair she's sitting in next to him. Eric told Zac's cousin Katelyn that she looks like the meanest teacher in his school. She told him that she was really nice, and Eric just shrugged.
It was actually almost 9 pm when we started our little firework show. It looks so light out on our pictures! Jennifer and Lily were so tired though, but wanted to see the fireworks. Eric got to light some of the fireworks this year.
After our little show, we put Jennifer and Lily to bed, then headed out to the back yard. We were able to see the Thanksgiving Point firework show from the backyard. It was so nice not having to drive there and fight the crowds. Perfect, relaxing Fourth.
Glad you noticed that you can see the fireworks from our home. We love to sit in the sunroom and watch.
