4th of July

We spent the holiday weekend up in Payson trying to escape some of the summer heat. Saturday it was 118 degrees in the valley, so 95 degrees didn't seem too bad in the mountains. Especially with shade and some afternoon rain, it was delightful! The cousins had a great time playing together too. We ate most of our meals out on the deck, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Brooklyn was trying to keep up with the big kids and made it up this rock by herself (with mom behind, just in case!)! She loved the park and had Kylie as her "helper" everywhere she went. During the day we went to the park and let the kids jump in the bounce house, go down the big inflatable slide (the favorite!!), and participate in some races. We were ready for the concert in the park and of course....fireworks!! Both of the kids enjoyed the fireworks, even though they had to stay up past their bedtime to watch them. We got a few sprinkles on our heads before the show began, but we got lucky that the storm passed us and allowed us to have a great 4th of July in the park.
