4th of July

We had a jam packed fourth of July.  We stayed the night of the 3rd in Longmont with Dad (Mom was gone at Girls Camp) and so we got up early on the 4th and went to Dad's ward Breakfast.  It was fun (and a little weird) to see people I hadn't seen for years.  Then we headed back to Louisville for our ward's picnic- equipped with a bouncy house and football (Ben played with the YM and he did GREAT.  He is so impressive). 

That afternoon we went, with Dad, down to Denver for a BBQ at Erica's house.  (There was a big snake in her backyard and our Super Hero Father picked it up and took it to the neighboring field. He is so brave.) There was lots of food (always), a pool for the kids, a baseball game for the guys, un-pop-able bubbles and FIREWORKS? 

  

Due to the horrible fires we have been having, Colorado had a no fireworks ban.  Instead Erica planned a super fun black light Glow stick 'Firework' party! We made our own with glow stick dancing (thanks erica) and watched the shows throughout the US- very fun.
