We are making plans to do it all this year. By midnight on the fourth I am sure our bodies will be aching for slumber and tired of the fun. In our family there is a saying we pass amongst ourselves as the festivities wrap up.
"Before you know it, it will be Christmas."
But before Santa comes, I want to also wish my father a Happy Birthday. His passion for politics and change must've been present in the womb, he decided to enter this world on the Fourth of July. A true Yankee Doodle Dandy, a funny man with an good heart. If you see him in the parade will you join me in wishing him a happy day?
He's 52. In case you were wondering.
Happy Fourth of July everyone!
I hope to see you around this weekend!

Happy 4th of July, Courtney!
Enjoy your "vacation"! :)
Let me just say you're pics of what is going on in your town makes me want to move from North Texas to Utah!!! I've got to wait about 8 more years so my son can finish school, but I'm serious... we may just relocate there! So much to do for active families, such beautiful scenery, and the seasons! Here in North Texas we just go from hot to a touch of chilly each year. And the landscape? Mostly flat. We have to drive about an hour in any direction to see beautiful hills. Mountains? Nope. Not in these parts.
So, in summary, thank you for your posts, your pics, and your family stories. Maybe by the time we move there you'll be in office, or at least running for something, and I can cast a vote your way! : )
Happy 4th of July to you and yours!!!
You didn't mention in your post that the Jo-Bros are going to be playing at the big event in Provo today!! That's HUGE. Well, I mean... to my 8 year old daughter that's huge. Not to me. Of course.
cjane,
your town sounds and looks like a wonderful place to live. do people tend to move to provo because it's a great place to raise children? from the photos it really does look beautiful and fun.
