4th of July festivities

We are fortunate to have our families extremely close, but that means holidays are crunched to spend time with both families. We always have a picnic with my family on the afternoon of the 4th...I made this:

People were impressed and it was so easy, I may have to make it a tradition.

After the picnic, we met Kolby's family for the movie "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" in 3-D. It was lots of fun.

The night of the 3rd and 4th we stay in a hotel with Kolby's family so the kids can swim and we can walk to the Stadium of Fire, and most importantly, it only takes 5 minutes to get from the stadium to your bed and call it a night! At the Stadium of Fire we get to sit with Kolby's extended family since his grandparents generously buy us all tickets each year. We were close to the stage and got to see the Jonas Brothers perform. It was a good concert and Hannah was shaking her booty the entire time. Mad loved the fireworks and slept off and on throughout the entire thing.

All in all, we had a great time-thank you everyone!
