#17 July 3 Celebrating Freedom

So the big news this weekend is that my best friends are finally home! Hooray! Technically my parents arrived in SLC on Friday, but it was Saturday in the Philippines. They've been in the Philippines for the past three years as missionaries for our Church.

I'm thrilled they're finally home, so I'm going to count it towards my Saturday of Fun! Besides, the rest of the weekend wouldn't nearly have been as much fun if they weren't home. Here they are...



















Nearly all my siblings and their families were in town for my parents homecoming--which was perfectly timed to celebrate the 4th of July. Of course, there had to be fireworks! So I hosted Amy's traditional 4th of July Sidewalk Spectacular Fireworks display.

Here are the spectators...



























Are you ready? Here's the show...












Ohhh....awwww...wow!
It was pretty spectacular this year. Especially the finale. You're invited to see the real thing, live and in person next year!
