4th of July Fun

It was a perfect holiday weekend!  We had our annual neighborhood BBQ and cul-de-sac firework show.  The kids enjoyed the slip n slide.

 

 On the 4th we watched lots of baseball. 

 Carter's All-Star game was at noon and Ashlynn and I watched some of the parade before the game.

Carter was the starting pitcher and then played catcher the rest of the game.  He had an inning where he struck out 3 batters, had an out at home and then had an awesome smash of pop up hit to center field, but it was caught.  We were all surprised it was caught, but the center fielder did a great job with that catch.  You can't help but cheer for both of them even though they are on opposite teams.

Our All-star team came up with the win 10-1 against the West Layton team.  It was such a good game to watch.  The best of the best battling it out.
