Gotta love that extra bit of celebrating we get in the middle of July every year. (unless of course your husband has to work... in which case you get to do all the parade stuff and celebrating by yourself!)
We recruited some friends and went to the Fiesta Days parade in Spanish Fork. 
The kids sure love a good ol' parade
The neatest entry was a SEA of 1,000 young men dressed like Helaman's 2000 Stripling Warriors. They had "We'll Bring the World His Truth" playing from speakers while these young boys marched passed. Talk about a chilling experience!!! And so eye opening to see how little and young many of them were. I'm sure that's how it really was for those Book of Mormon heros.
Just like last year, we had Luke's work friends and their family's over for a 24th of July
barbecue
We had a great turn-out
By the time we cleaned up and everyone left, we were far too tired to drive to Spanish Fork to see the fireworks....
However, right after putting the girl's in their bed I glanced outside and saw, from our very own back door, the SF firework display in the far distance. We actually could see several firework shows from various locations.
I got the older girls back out of their beds and we snuggled on the back steps enjoying the fireworks in our pj's.
