Night of Fireworks

On July 5th, in Utah, we did some fireworks in the front yard. To start the evening off, the kids did the pull fireworks Brandon sent. Next, the kids had a blast playing with poppers.Grandma bought a small box of fireworks at the store for the kids to enjoy.They loved the fireworks! Sometimes the kids thought that the fireworks were too loud. It was fun when our friend Clayne sent off the crazy fireworks. Hyrum found a silly place to sit and watch the fireworks.To end the night, the kids had fun with sparklers. The kids had such a great time that night; they loved our night of fireworks.

Fishing in Blanding

The kids were so excited when they heard that their Papa was going to take them fishing. They had been wanting to go fishing for a long time. It worked out perfectly to go fishing while we were visiting Blanding.I think Ben was pretending to be a fish.
The kids were fascinated watching Papa bait the hook. Papa and Sean baited many hooks that day. Both Sean and my dad had much patience with my kids helping them fish.

Waiting for their turnHyrum caught his first fish on the trip. He was so thrilled and proud of himself.That poor fish got cast out again into the water and reeled back in for Ben and Emmy to each catch.Later in the evening Hyrum caught another fish.
