Instead of the usual fourth festivities we started out our day at the swim meet. Neve was so excited to be an official part of the team in her newly acquired team suit. *no more hot pink neve*
The girls did well and we had our first day of no crying from any of the three girls. {progress}.
Neve was so excited to receive the "You Rule" award for the team for hardwork. Good attitude may not win you the blue ribbon, but a ruler with puff paint, that is a different story.
The new blue suit in action. Swim, Neve, swim.
Maren loves to show off her freakish bird wings. Frightening.
Later we attended the Blatter Fourth of July extravaganza. I have been waiting for such an event to make this cake that I saw a while back. The trouble with things like this is that I want to make them, but then have no self control not to eat the entire cake. ...Must take to large party where I will only be able to eat *one* small slice. Perfection. Please notice at least two small size 5 year old finger prints in the peanut butter cream cheese frosting...
The party was so much fun. The kids swam, the adults grilled. We ate delicious food. We reminisced about Classic Skate in Orem. The kids bounced in the bounce house, and the tramp.
We ate perfectly patriotic snow cones.
Before the fireworks shows the kids treated us to a bike parade. I don't know how many *maybe 35 kids* but it was amazing that no one was seriously hurt. Or anyone's vehicle maimed. The kids were in heaven. I needed another sweater.
