It hardly felt like a traditional 4th of July around here. With Seth just a few days old, we opted to celebrate the 4th as a family and kept it very low key.
Friday we watched the fireworks from afar. We watched from a parking lot below the USU stadium (aside from one other car, we were the only ones in the parking lot). Seth stayed in the car and Gracie watched with excitement and commented on the "pretty lights." She was pretty darn impressed.
To complete our 4th of July celebration, we went to a nearby canyon and had a small hotdog and mallow roast. We had a great time as a family, but I admit it didn't feel like the usual 4th of July with large crowds and extended family.
I'm grateful for the day to celebrate our country and our freedoms. We truly are a blessed people, and we owe much of that to those who have given and are willing to give so much for our freedom and country.
Mmmm, roasted marshmallows! Can't get any better than that!
Have you seen a happier more content little girl?? She loves her mallows!
