happy 4th

the day started with a jog. i was relieved to find it overcast outside! then i got home and got ready i headed down to provo to the freedom festival with the 3 little girls. we cruised around the park, stopped to look at stuff, listened to music, gabby snuck on a few of the blow up toys and other things (by sneaking i mean when the money man wasn't looking she runned right past him and started climbing up the ladder, it was actually quite hilarious!) lexi and azure rode a clown ride which they absolutely thought was so fun, sometimes i wasn't quite sure whether azure was closing her eyes out of fun or revulsion. then we enjoyed a snowie and the az and gab got their faces painted, while lexi picked out a marshmallow shooter. it was so hot, im so glad it was overcast most the day though. as we headed home the girls were hungry so we got them some mcdonalds, we had a lot of fun, thanks girls!
then i read "the host" (which is real good!! i finished) and we had dinner, lucky for me it was not a hot dawg, i have had so many the last week i think i could spew thinking about it........... we threw pop-its, i threw one at my mom and it actually popped when it hit her it was hilarious! we did fireworks and watched some illegals until a cop came cruising through our neighborhood and confiscated the rest from our neighbors, that was pretty disappointing, we were just glad they didn't get a ticket! overall a great relaxing 4th.

todd was not satisfied with normal sparklers so he used a screamer as his sparkler.lexi and azure laughing on the clown ride that they loved!

me playing with a sparkler, i love playing with danger.....................
gabbys beautiful painted butterfly face, she was actually really good at holding still to get it done. as soon as the lady got done and showed gabby in the mirror a big grin spread across her face.
azures dolphin paint, she loved the sparklers too.
