Freedom Festival

We were able to visit Utah this year for the 4th. Trent had time off work, so we thought "why not" and headed down. This trip we mostly hung out with family since our schedule was pretty full, but we managed to do quite a bit. Our first stop was temple square. I had not been there in about 5 years so it was time to visit...and Bailey enjoyed seeing the temple and all the pretty fountains and pools!








We then had his grandparents Campbells 70th wedding anniversary! Yep, 70 years and still going strong.



The cake had all their children and grandchildrens names- not sure if there was room for all the great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren they have!~



There's Trents name

Later on that evening, Trent's sister Sondra and her kids stayed for a few fireworks and we had a great time- Trents loves that aerial fireworks are now legal in Utah!




The next day my friend Gina from California happened to be in Utah also, so I got to see her brand new adorable twin baby girls!


Then for the 4th we headed to Provo for the freedom parade that was spectacular...it has amazing floats and even the giant cartoon balloons. My favorite(besides all the missionaries from the MTC) were the BYU ones...it sure brought back a lot of great memories being there.


And ended a perfect holiday with a BBQ and fireworks with trent's huge family!


Bailey loved playing with all her cousins and will miss them until we visit again!

What a great weekend. I love that cake! What a great idea. That parade looks awesome too! Idaho needs a little more creativity in that area. Love the fourth!
