4th of July

After parades in Provo being so exciting on the 4th of July, I was sure somewhere in Norman would have a parade so the night before I looked it up and on the 4th we got all loaded up and hurried to be there before it started…shortest parade I’ve ever been to! It consisted of a fire truck, followed by hundreds of kids on bikes and scooters, and finished up by a police car…some kids threw candy at our boys and that’s about all we got out of it. Dale might have laughed at me a few times over this.

That night, the boys were too tired to stay up for fireworks, so on the 5th we had our own little fireworks show with whistling pete’s, bees, and sparklers…lots of sparklers. Cameron burned his hand a little on one but kept coming back for more and the boys are both very proficient at asking to have their ears covered now (especially after Dale’s boss’ fireworks show a few nights before this!).

This was their first time really seeing fireworks/hearing them ever and they did really well…hopefully next year they’ll be able to enjoy them even more!
