Family & Fireworks

july 4, 2013

beautiful summer morning

decided to start our day with our church freedom breakfast

never been before because we like to sleep in

two kids later, we have been forced to become early risers

always love a good pancake and eggs breakfast; my favorite

got the family dressed in our red, white and blue

so cliché, but what else are you supposed to wear?

enjoyed conversing with our fellow ward members


 

spent a leisurely afternoon at home as a family

 

later that evening, our good friends (hertz and shelton families) came over for a barbecue

 

erik cooked up some delicious burgers and thanks to julie hertz, her rolls made the perfect buns

 

never again am I going to by regular hamburger buns; these were so much better

 

after dinner, we headed outside for pop-its and "sprinklers" as claire would say

 

 
once it was dark, we woke ethan up and headed over to a school in olympus cove to watch the fireworks

of course we had to do more "sprinklers" for claire

by this time, it was very late but the kids were great

i'm sure ethan was a little confused as to why he was up at ten o'clock at night
 

 
we had a wonderful time being together as a family and celebrating our country's independence

love you all ~ the olafsson fam
