the 4th...

We had a great 4th of July! Our day began with our annual trip to Provo to see the parade. The kids just love watching and the temperatures were so mild and perfect for sitting outside that long! Next we headed up the canyon to Bridal Veil falls for a picnic lunch and swimming in the falls. The falls is a new discovery for us and the kids just LOVE it! Then we headed to my parents house for even more swimming and a yummy BBQ dinner. To top the day off we headed to Thanksgiving Point to watch the fireworks with neighbors, my sister, her room mate, and her friend Bismark.

I loved doing the flag background photo booth! It was also fun to experiment with my camera's night time settings and shutter speeds. I was able to capture my sister writing the word LOVE with her sparkler. I think it came out pretty neat! All I had to do was flip the photo in photoshop!
