Happy 4th of July!

We had a very busy and very fun 4th of July. We started our day with a ward pancake breakfast at our church...it was supposed to include a flag raising, but that didn't happen. Then Chad and I spent the afternoon painting the new baby's room. It looks really good, but I don't think that I will be painting anything else until after the baby comes...I'm a bit clumsy and it's exhausting. We ended our day with a big BBQ with friends from our ward and neighborhood. We had so much fun and the kids had a blast. The kids really liked the sparklers until the sparks landed on their skin and then they lost all of their appeal. Cam got nervous when Chad would set off the really loud fireworks, but overall she enjoyed them. I think the dads enjoyed the fireworks more than the kids :) Especially the "Ring of Fire". I am attaching a picture of the "Ring" for anyone that has yet to witness it's awesomeness.
