Sparkle and Fade

We pretty much took it easy on the 4th. No parades, no carnivals, no camping out for good fireworks seats. I figure there's only so much more time before we have kids and we're actually required to participate in all of the festivities. Nevertheless, we still had a good time.

Here's Olivia striking a pose on the diving board. Notice the one straight leg, one bent. I say future swim team captain.


J boy was a little trepidatious about getting in the water.


Have you ever seen eyes like this?


This was funnier in person. Something about this picture brings to mind a scene from Tommy Boy where he is trying to put on a jacket...or "little coat" as they say.


Just because we didn't camp out to see fireworks doesn't mean we didn't get a good show. I had the bright idea of going next door and sitting on top of the new house that is being built.


We lucked out and saw fireworks from...the Bees Game, Sugarhouse Park and Rice-Eccles. Not bad!
