Fourth of July Festivities

Our weekend started Thursday night. We went to Eaglewood Golf Course to have dinner, play some catch, and watch fireworks. Jace was so excited all night. He kept saying, "It's getting darker, here come the fireworks!" Then of course, once they started he got a little scared at the warning, but was fine once he found us and laid down. Friday we slept right through the Parade we were going to go to, but went swimming that afternoon to make up for it. Jace had a lot of fun with Aunt Ju Ju. We had a BBQ with Brock's family that night, and had our own little firework show in the street. Jace covered his ears the whole time. Saturday was our ward breakfast and parade, and since Brock and I are on the activities committee, we had to be there early to help set up. It was a big success, and the water activities afterwards were a lot of fun. The kids (and men) in the ward took turns shooting basketballs to try to dunk whomever was lucky enough to get dunked. Brock took his turn and Jace made his shot to dunk him. It was really fun. Then, my family always goes camping over the 4th, and since we decided not to have Nixon wake everybody up during the night, we just went up for dinner and games. Overall, we had a great weekend. I love the 4th of July.
