The Fourth of July

So here is what we did on the 4th

Mark got up early to go to the flag raising ceremony at the church. I was smart and slept in!
The funniest thing happened when he was there though. Mark was talking to someone, but saw some ladies standing near them talking about him. One lady pointed at him and said to the other "Now who does this boy belong to?" Ha Ha. Everyone thinks Mark is so young. This has been happening a lot lately it is cracking us up.

They had another balloon launch so here is the picture of the flag and some balloons in the back

Later that day we went with Wendy and had a picnic in the park and saw this free play about America. Here i am with Lady Liberty in the background. Pretty fancy.

Wendy put on quite the show at the play


Our photo shoot with some flags

Then i went home and played with friends

Then we went up to Mark's parents for a little fourth of July BBQ. Here i am slurping some lemonade

After Strauss did his firework show, Mark and i headed back to Provo to see the BIG show. Mark had this great idea earlier in the day. We were driving home from the picnic and i said i wanted a Popsicle and Mark said he wanted to sell popsicles to all the people that walk by our apartment to go to the firework show.

Later that day, i walked into the room and found Mark with this:

Here is Mark trying to sell his load

We were pretty late getting there, so by the time we were there the show was almost over. So we missed everyone on their way there. But we still tried to get them on their way back to their cars.

As you can imagine, it didn't go so well. So now i have a freezer full of frozen lemonade and Fat Boys.

Here is Mark with his earnings for the night. $4!!!!
