4th of July Weekend


We got back from our summer trip to Utah. It started with the 4th of July. We woke up and headed to Moroni, Ut for their parade. It started with a ping-pong ball drop from an airplane. Which the kids love. Then the floats with tons and tons of candy being thrown at the kids. They love that more. Unfortunately, Jake took a dive onto the street road and had a big, fat, bloody lip. It was so sad, but again the candy made him forget his pain.

Then we went to the local park festivities both in Moroni and Manti. We rode rides, played put-put golf, we took a little train ride and made rockets and launched them into the air. We had yummy Italian Ice and wonderful utah watermelon.

Later that night, we went to Manti and saw another parade and then went to the high school stadium and watched fireworks with the beautiful Manti Temple in the background. It was a great small town 4th of July!
