Independance Day Celebrations

We hurried out the door eating our egg breakfast as we went to the Provo Freedom Festival Parade. We ended up watching it in a similar place as the last 2 times. Poor Eric hardly got to sit down as Miriam just wanted to wander around. She was a good garbage picker upper. We decided next time we need to bring better snacks. Miriam's favorite parts of the parade were the marching bands, she loved dancing with them and the great big balloons, maybe she could see them better.

After it was over we took our gear over to Eric's work to drop off. Miriam was being a big helper by carrying a chair cover, never mind she dragged it all the way and obstructed traffic, but she was pleased with herself. We then headed over to the Colonial Encampment that Crandall museum does every year. Miriam was tired and didn't want to let us watch any of the entertainment until she fell asleep. We then headed home for naps. It was kind of odd that we didn't do anything with anybody this year. We tried a few folks, but they all had plans.

We had a picnic in our backyard- grilled hot dogs (Miriam's first taste, loved it!), watermelon, the sweetest corn on the cob, chips and dip, and carrot sticks. Miriam and I bathed then set off a few fireworks out front. She liked the colors, but didn't like the noisy ones. We kept seeing random fireworks so in effort of putting Miriam asleep we went chasing fireworks and saw a few here and there.
