Fourth of July

On the Saturday before the 4th - we decided to get up early and drive down to Provo and watch
the annual hot air balloon lift-off to celebrate the Fourth of July. Brooke put together this awesome collage & I am pirating it because I can't do it on photoshop like she can.

That morning it was a little windy - so we waited a long time for them to decide whether they would actually be able to launch. The wind can be no more than 15 mph. So, while we waited, the boys got to take their picture inside the basket of one of the balloons. We also watched as they spread out a balloon and fired up the engines to inflate one of them. It was a little chilly, so the fire actually felt pretty good.

Later that day, Brooke- our resident photographer now- took some pictures of the Krey kiddos
all decked out in their red, white & blue.

That night we did a few fireworks in front of our house, but alas - no one took any pictures!!

We haven't lived in a place that allows fireworks in a very long time - so all the kids loved it!
