The 4th of July, was not only a fun day with parades, food and fireworks - it was also kind of the "last ho-rah" with Jared's family, or at least the ones who were still here. We have had all of his siblings here for the last few weeks for a last get together before his parents left as Mission Presidents to Russia (I still need to blog about this). Steve was the last to leave, he left on the 5th and so we used the 4th to celebrate "all together" also.
Jared and Eric got up early that morning (4am) and got a great seat for the Provo Parade. It was great, not only was Steve's and Eric's family there, but so was Liz's parents and our good friends The Rasbands, they have twin boys and live across the street from us. We all had a great time.
After the parade we carried on a greasy Pratt tradition with KFC for lunch, we all went back to Pratt Central (Grandma T and Big Grandpa's house), where Eric and Liz are now living, for yummy food and fun games. After a long fun day we all split to "freshen up" and get ready for the fireworks.
Liz's family goes to the Provo Temple to steal a glance at the Stadium of Fire fireworks and the last few years we have joined them. This year we also were with Cammie's family in a big group. We had great seats to see the fireworks and tons of room for the kids to run around and play while we waited for the big show. Also great blanket space for Carson and Logan to have a cute game of catch (Carson is NOT a grass person - in case you might not know). Some dark rain clouds threatened our fun, but never really got us - we were lucky and had a great time!
Thanks for all the Fourth of July Fun everyone! Emma and Carson had the best time playing with their cousins and their Aunts and Uncles.
