4th of July!

(A little late. Hush.)

Every year the Harmon Fam goes to the grand fireworks show that takes place at Granite High on July 3rd, and they're always pretty great!

Emma showing me the Ring Pop that Grandma gave her - and that never left her hand the rest of the night. Not even when everyone was dancing to "Twist & Shout":

Or when she was dancing cheek-to-cheek with Daddy:

The evening ended with some great fireworks, which Emma understandably was NUTS about! She's never been scared by them, which I'm quite grateful for.

On the 4th, we had a blast swimming at Aunt Brooklyn's house (Emma's inner-fish suddenly came to life, she alternated her time between jumping off the diving board & going down the slide), and then had a grand outdoor feast at the Nortons backyard. We decided not to keep Emma up late for fireworks 2 nights in a row, but she didn't even fall asleep until 10 so I guess we should've just gone for it. :)

We did sorely miss spending the 4th in Boston, there's really no Independence Day experience like that. I guess nothing else will quite compare for me; but I always love celebrating America's birthday no matter where I am!

Oh yeah, Emma only picks blue suckers, she has very exclusive tastes. I just love having a daughter who walks around with blue lips at least every other day. :)

I'm so glad I got to see a pic of your cute little belly since I didn't get to see you in Salt Lake. I called a couple times but I probably made a mistake because I called 272-5690 and that may just be your parents now. Anyway, your belly is darling!

Urgh, Julie, this is why I hate my brain! I actually FORGOT that you were coming up, how could I forget that?! I'm so sorry. You'll be coming up again sometime in the future, right? We actually aren't in our new place yet, but will be in a few weeks. So hopefully the next you're up here we'll be all ready to have some guests!
