We haven’t really planned anything out for the last few weeks and the fourth was no different. But we did manage to have a great day together regardless. We had asked our neighbors, the Jessops, to save us a spot by them for some of the Murray City festivities just in case. I have to admit walking to the park made me feel a tiny bit vulnerable, knowing I was that much further away in case I needed to make a mad dash to the hospital. But here we are braving another day of possible impending chaos.

We attended the parade and it was so fun to be with a family. The kids loved it and brought home a huge stash of candy that I hope to con them out of somehow. Alden and Eden were our dancing entertainment.

I basically slept or relaxed the rest of the day since I had a bit of insomnia the night before. Chad got all kinds of projects taken care of. We had some crockpot pulled pork sandwiches for dinner and we must have had at least three servings of Alden’s delicious birthday cake throughout the day. Then we walked back over to the park for the firework display. They really have nothing on the Idaho Falls display but it was still great fun. I loved to see the kids dancing with their glow sticks and snuggling up to Chad. I am so blessed! We all came back pretty exhausted.
