Our Fourth

I haven't updated in forever, so I figured it was time. I'll start with our Fourth. South Salt Lake has fireworks and a carnival at Granite High School on the 3rd, so we walked over to that. I love that they have them. One, it's great that they always do them before the fourth, and two, they are so close to us that it's nice to not need to worry about parking or anything because we just walk over. Asher really enjoyed the fireworks. It was fun to see his reaction to them. On the 4th in the afternoon we went to Tim's aunt's house. We had a barbeque and there were cousins for our kids to play with. In the evening we went to Jesse and Anne's house. We had another barbeque. Jesse made delicious shishkabobs. Just a small group of friends. It was nice. When it got darker, Chris had brought some fireworks to play with, that the kids just loved. When those ran out, he and Matt went to get more. Asher just loved that again. We decided to forego the fireworks at Sugarhouse, which was our original plan. We'd already seen some and it was going to be crazy busy because it is the last year they are doing them there, and the kids were going to be too tired. I think that was a good idea to skip them.

The kids got home pretty tuckered out. Asher fell asleep in the very short ride home, as Jesse only lives a few blocks away. I managed to bathe them both (and they were FILTHY) and get them in bed with no fussing or meltdowns, which is saying a lot considering they stayed up way past their bedtimes two nights in a row.

All in all, it was a pretty fun weekend. And not too hot, which was nice.
