Fourth of July fun!!!

Every year, it is a tradition for us to go to Richfield, (Erik's home town) for the fourth. It is always so much fun. Friday morning, we went to the parade, the kids had a blast running up to the floats as people threw candy from them. Afterward, there was a big gathering at the park. Tons of food, fun and friends. Avery was so tuckered out by then, she fell asleep in her stroller. Later, we had a BBQ, headed for the park with friends and family to watch the fireworks. It was so cute because Avery got to hang out with her two little friends, Addison and Titan. They are all close in age. The fireworks were so long. They went for about an hour. It was crazy!! The next day, we had a big breakfast in Erik's aunts backyard. Lots of family was there and it was so great to see everyone. We then had our neice babysit Avery and all of us couples went on a two hour four wheeler ride up piute trail. It started to rain and became super cold. Erik and I got to snuggle up and we absolutely loved it. We had so much fun. After our ride, we headed off for another BBQ at some good friends house. We had an awesome weekend. It's always hard to be surrounded by people for days and then come home to no one. I look forward to our next family gathering. Erik's family is so much fun to be with. Our time together is always memorable. I love them all so much. Thanks for an awesome weekend you guys!!
