Our 4th of July mornings always start with the balloon festival in Provo. It’s crazy early, and kinda cold–but oh, my how we LOVE it!
Such a cute smile so early in the morning!
Fruit pizza. Our favorite 4th of July breakfast for the last 15 years!

It’s so peaceful and quiet when we first get here.

Sweet cousins.
At last the sun is up!
It’s been a long morning.
Many times we all go back home and take a nap in order to be ready for the rest of the upcoming fun stuff. We did miss Rhen and Jessica who found that starting the day a little later was just what they needed. It’s a tradition that has become one of our favorite things about the 4th.
