4th of July FINALLY


Ready and waiting for the parade to start. She's got the 'burse' for the candy and her cowgirl hat on...

"Oh my gosh dang" she just kept saying with her hand over her mouth. . .

Ready for bed, but to "carwed (scared)" from the fireworks.

Carson's sister, Merlinn, and her hubby Travis (and baby Isaac) joined us for the fireworks.

Just the starting of them. The fireworks are the best west of the Mississippi. They are put on by Meleluca (sp?). They are the BEST I have EVER seen!

Finally Carlee got to experience the parade and fireworks. We had been telling her for weeks that it was almost time to go to the fireworks and parade for the 4th of July. She always acted really excited, but had NO clue what we were talking about. We had SO much fun on the 4th of July. It was the perfect weather and we were exhausted by the time the grand finale hit for the fireworks. We woke up and went to the Clearfield parade with my (Ashlee's) family and the drove straight from the parade to Idaho Falls to celebrate Malena's (Carson's baby sister) and Carlee's birthday at the Perkins and then to the Red Lion where we had a hotel reservation with a balcony that overlooked the fireworks. IT WAS SO FUN!!! Then we went in and went to bed. Carlee LOVED the parade, but the fireworks 'carwed (scared) me.' However, she is already looking forward to Pioneer Day here in Utah. More parades and fireworks.
