Happy 4th of July


The Monty's LOVE 4th of July! Our day of activities start bright and early at 8:00, yes 8:00 am! We cheer on the Murray Parade. Grandma V is the bomb and shows up with a cooler of hot breakfast burritos and ice cold juice. We all sit along curb side and watch the decorated cars, bikes and animals trot by. Ryn, not surprisingly is more interested in the animals that are in the parade then all the yummy candy and treats that are constantly being launched at us! After the parade we then venture over to Grandma V's for an afternoon of eating and swimming. The kids have a blast. Around five, Grandma Guy or Pom pa (according to Ryn) fires up the grill. The grill now becomes the main hang out for the Monty boys! We all over eat and lay around sick for the next hour or so before we go to fireworks! Ah the fireworks, the day is coming to an end! We go to Jordan High School to watch fireworks, it really is the perfect spot. Ryn and Pom pa walked over to the "man" again, according to Ryn, but formally known as the ice cream man and bought some ice cream. Grandma Lane then let her rip into her sack of flags, star headbands and glow in the dark sticks . . The fireworks were awesome. Ryn fell asleep before we even drove out of the parking lots. I think we would all agree that it was a good day!!
