My girls made their own t-shirts for 4th of July, using an idea from the Family Fun magazine. I think they turned out pretty cute!
We started out the morning at the ward breakfast. The kids love to get their faces painted by the young women.
Next, we drove up to Monmouth so the kids could march in a 4th of July parade. They decorated bikes, scooters and wagons in all sorts of patriotic garb.
After marching in the parade, we settled down to watch a parade. It was fun to see the floats, get candy and see all the cars, trucks, horses, ect.
Emily made a flag cake for dessert.
The men spent the afternoon in usual style - eating and watching movies
The kids kept cool eating popcicles...
and swimming!
Later that night we went to watch fireworks in Independence.
Alan and I had matching t-shirts - he doesn't mind being silly like that :)
Leilani used the waiting time for the fireworks to learn to braid and then practice on Aunt Kim.
Dad used his new camera equipment to capture the fireworks. I dedicated my camera to all the people shots! We had a good time spending time with family and celebrating our country's birth.

great pictures Lisa! I love to see all the cute shirts!! (I like that about Alan) Looks like a wonderful family time!! :)
What a fun day for everyone! Love the shirts. You have a fun family.
Again, you took some great pictures. It was overall a pretty good 4th of July wasn't it. Your family by far had the best decorated "floats" for the parade.
