4th of July

FYI: This may be a long post. That is why I have been putting this off for a while. We had a pretty full 4th of July celebration.

The day began with a flag raising ceremony with Brian's parent's Stake (church). Tali apparently didn't need me. She had Grandma.

That's okay. I still love my little munchkin!

I know she looks like she's sleeping or really bored, but honestly she was having a good time.....especially after the program. She got to eat a donut and milk. They even had a candy cannon. It was awesome. She will definitely love that when she gets older.

I really love this picture!

Tali has found a new friend. She is getting to be quite attached to that grandpa of hers.

Later in the day, we went to see my sister's new house and take family pictures. Aren't we a cute bunch?

Love is spoken here.

After the photos, we went to the Riverton Park for a carnival and fireworks. It was the BEST! Tali got to even pet a camel.
Tali also got to ride her very first carnival ride. She didn't like it too much at first as you can tell. She looked kind of scared. She ended up liking it though after a minute.

One of my sisters, brothers, and two of my nephews rode on the scrambler. It was so much fun! We couldn't stop laughing!

Then came the fireworks show! It was the best I have ever seen! I swear they did probably 5-10 fake finales. It was AWESOME!!!

Here are some pictures I took of the fireworks.

I LOVED the fireworks!

Aren't they so pretty???

I really liked this picture of my sister and my niece Maddy.

Tali was so exhausted. I think she was overstimulated for one day. Doesn't she look so cute in her little patriotic outfit though? After the fireworks show, we decided to finish using our tickets at the carnival with my sister, two of my nephews and my brother. It was so much fun! We ended up going on 2 "throw up" rides. Brian didn't want ride any of the rides because he doesn't really like the "throw up" rides. Tali ended up falling asleep in his arms. It was so precious. It all turned out though. The last ride my sister, nephew and I went on, my sister and I both had to concentrate just to keep from throwing up. I still loved it. I didn't care. It was a BLAST!
