Our Fantastic Fourth!

Our 4th of July celebration was lots of fun. We started out at the church for a yummy breakfast put on by the "new and improved" 11th ward (a phrase coined by our new bishop to refer to our ward which was essentially combined with another ward recently.)
Next we met up with Karen and Troy and family to walk down to the parade. It was really hot but still lots of fun! Olivia loved watching all the floats and especially the ones that had music and dancing. She still tells people the we were in the parade rather than watching it. :)
After an afternoon break/nap, we headed out to my Grandma and Grandpa Harmon's house for some dinner and then my Mom and my sister Miranda went to the fireworks downtown with us. Highlight of the event: funnel cake! j/k--it was delish, though. ;) Poor Olivia swore that she had to go potty--really bad!!!--right in the middle of the fireworks show, so I hauled her all the way down to those port-a-potty things (all the while getting glares from the people we were passing as we were temporarily obstructing their views) only to get there and have her say "I don't need to go anymore--those potties are too dark and scary!!" No matter what I tried I could not get her to go in those scary, dark potties, so a very frustrated mommy and a very tired Olivia made thier way back in front of the crowds of people to catch the end of the fireworks. Oh well!
Here's David with his little Ethan-bud and the girls before the parade.

Which is which? I was excited that Aubrey is still little enough to wear the same cute 4th of July dress that Olivia wore for her first 4th, even though Olivia was only 6 months when she wore it and Aubrey is almost a year--little peanut!

Someone walked along during the parade passing out popsicles, and Aubrey had to have one too. She would make a face like she hated it and then dive after it again.
