Independence Day

We started our celebration on the third by going to the Farmington City Parade with our great friends from our ward, the Krommenhoeks.
It was Scott's first parade and it was so fun to watch the kids.
They throw out a lot of candy at this parade.
We were sitting nest to a family of polygamists.
This means A LOT of kids.
They were so nice though.
They shared their candy with us and even gave us some of their pop its and a bottle of cold water because they heard that Scott drank all the water we brought and they didn't want me to pay a buck for one.
No judgement from me.
The family seemed to be of great character and that's all I care about.
Anyway, Scott was grateful for them giving him candy because he's not fast enough to run and get it.
After a while he cared more about what was on the float and not what they were throwing out.
It was so funny watching him trying to do what the people on the float were doing.
He tried to do the flips of the gymnasts and kicks and punches of the karate kids.
I think I'm going to get him into karate because he was pretty good at copying them.
He even started following the floats.
He would usually come back when a new float came but eventually he didn't and Mark had to run and get him cause he was running after one.
He got really far.
Jade had a hard time with Scott not concentrating on pictures as you can tell from the one of just the two of them.
It was a great time.
Thanks Amber and Jeff for letting us tag along.


The next day on the 4th we went to breakfast with the Krommenhoeks at my favorite place, Kneaders.
I think this is going to be a new tradition.
Oh delicious!
From there we took it pretty easy and hung out at home. 
That evening we planned to go to fireworks but decided a movie and yummy snacks was good enough.
Happy Freedom day!
