{flags lining the main road of our little town}
We had a fantastic week. We said the Pledge of Allegiance, colored pictures of flags, ate lots of red, white and blue food, read books like this one:
We enjoyed getting together with the Burrs on Friday and with friends from the ward on Saturday. I wish I had a pool to take these boys to more often... they are little fishes!
After an afternoon of swimming we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Crane's to play with fireworks. Words cannot describe how much fun these boys had {and how nervous the mom's were!}
On Sunday we had the opportunity to visit a three-quarter size, traveling Vietnam Wall that made it's way for the weekend to our high school football field. It was a great experience... and the perfect weekend to remember the soldiers who fought for us then and now.

We hope you had a happy 4th too!

  3. Very fun. We need to be more patriotic next year like you. We didn't do anything fabulous for our 4th.

  4. Those sparklers are way better than the ones you can get here. You non-desert people get away with all the cool and big fireworks!
