Yesterday was a fun fourth of July. We got up early to go to a flag raising ceremony and breakfast at the church for the three wards in our building. I'm so glad we went and were able to see the flag raised, hear the names of the members of each ward that have served or are serving in the military, hear a short talk about the importance of the flag, and sing the Star Spangled Banner. It really started the day off right and helped me reflect on the gratitude I have for our nation and the freedoms we enjoy...as well as the gratitude I have for those who have helped protect that freedom.
Then we went home and got ready to head to Seven Peaks. Since we have the Pass of all Passes, we've been going there weekly. But this was the first time Alfredo has been able to go. It was a lot of fun for all of us. It was busy, even in the morning, but it was fun to have Daddy there to help watch the kids and play with the kids. I'm not sure Gabby has ever enjoyed it as much as she did yesterday, especially the wave pool.
Then we headed to In-n-Out for lunch.
That afternoon we watched a movie together. Then our kind neighbors across the street let us watch them set off fireworks. It was a great day.

I had great plans to take some photos of my kids dressed in red, white and blue for the fourth. But shortly after we got home from the breakfast, Gabby got a bloody nose...a very bloody nose, and her clothes got blood all over them. And well, with our trip to Seven Peaks, we ended up spending a lot of the day not in our festive clothing. So no photo. Just trust me that they looked cute. :)
