July 4th Celebration

As a yearly tradition, we always make it to the Provo July 4th Parade. James actually was able to enjoy this one, since he is old enough now. His big hits were the Curious George balloon, the missionaries, the pirates and being with his cousins of course. He is so loved by them and they still call him Baby James. It is so much fun seeing him interact and play with them. He sure has his favorites though, he will constantly pull their hands, sit on their laps and sometimes give them hugs and kisses if they are lucky. He didn't love the heat, but he was a trooper... It was HOT! He was all about sitting in a different spot every 10 minutes and helping himself to any food or candy sitting around.
We watched fireworks from Jessica's house and had root beer floats. Yet the best part of the night was watching all the kids put off fire crackers and everything else they had. James took it easy watching in amusement with his Nana. James gets very jealous if his Nana is holding someone else and he is not on her lap. Yet he can share her, but has to be with her too.
Happy 4th of July everyone. Thanks to the freedoms we have and the country we live in. It is a place of plenty and possibilities are endless. Side note: Happy Canada Day too on the 1st of July, I love the country in which I am from too. It is so similar to the U.S. Plus, my family is still there, so thanks to Canada for taking care of my family.
