4th of July

 We had a great 4th of July! 

It started with the ward breakfast/party that morning. This was her favorite part:

 Then it was naps and Dad went off to work for a few hours. Then we headed up to my parents to drop off McKay and took Lyla to the festivities in Provo. First it was the festival, and Lyla got a snowcone...

 This is her "mom is making me take another picture, this it the best smile I can muster up at this point" face. But at least it shows off her cute little outfit

 And her cute hair. I wish she would stay this little forever. One day she won't let me dress her up anymore...dangit

 After the provo festival we went and found our spot that we had staked out beforehand, just outside the BYU stadium. We listened to the stadium of fire concert with the Beach Boys as the hit band. It was entertaining and we could hear it surprisingly well.

 Doing some sparklers as we waited. Lyla was a little nervous to hold it by herself, she wasn't quite sure what was going on. But did like watching us do them and with some help she did a few.

 The $3 one-hour entertainer! The glow sticks were a hit and she LOVED breaking them and watching them light up.

 FINALLY...the fireworks started...at 10:30pm. I figured they would be a little later since they don't start until after the show but not that late. Lyla made it fine until we had her lay down next to dad to watch the fireworks and then most of the time hid her face in his arm and closed her eyes, she was exhausted. So we watched about half way through and then left since she wasn't enjoying them that much anyway and we wanted to beat the traffic. All in all though, we had a great day and it was really fun spending some time with just Lyla.
