Fourth of July

Happy Independence Day! The 4th of July is my favorite holiday, I love everything about it! I am excited Sam is getting older and we can start more family traditions...I am thankful for our freedom and for Clint serving his country and protecting us! We went to breakfast with our ward Friday morning. It was really yummy, but awfully early after getting home so late from seeing Poison!
Our 4th of July tradition.....The Clearfield parade (we sit in the same spot too) and then to the booths
Dakota and Sam waiting for the parade to start! Kota was Sam's candy bag holder. Sam sure loves him, he likes to do everything Kota does....
Sam loved the parade! He thought it was great people were throwing candy to him. Clint taught him how to whistle and so they were whistling at the princesses. Well one gal turned and waved right at Sam, he blushed and hid his face in his dads legs. It was so cute, he is charmin the ladies already!!
After the parade we went home and had a water fight and had a chocolate fountain. Sam was a little scared of the water balloons because he thought people were hurting each other. He was fine as long as he got to hold one.Chocolate.......what a fun dinner huh?

These deer came into the back yard and hung out as we were starting fireworks. They were not scared of us at all. It was amazing just to watch them.

We didnt go to fireworks this year because we wanted to see how Sam would do. Good thing! He didnt like the loud ones at all!!! He played with the flashlight and had to be held tight during the other ones just to feel safe. Then he ended up falling asleep during them. What a fun day he had! Tuckered him right out!
