The Fourth of July started with a 5K Fun Run for me and and my sister-in-law Julia. It was awesome! Julia was home for the weekend from New York, it was so good to see her. She always brings fun goodies or souvenirs for the kids. The kids think it is christmas when they get postcards from New York :)
After the race we hurried to get ready for the parade. Haddy got to ride on Kathy's float in the parade but as she went by we could tell she wasn't very happy she was telling me to make sure we got her some candy. I don't think she liked the idea of throwing the candy to other people :)
The horse races are so fun in Richfield on the fourth and this year they were better then ever! Dallas spent the whole time with the announcer answering questions and she even got to pick the cooler (of money) winner out of the hat and the winner gave her $5. She bought lots of braclets at the jewelery stand. Matt's pretty good at picking the winners at the races. He says to never bet against the greys and he was right, they did pretty well.
After the races Marianne does a big barbeque for all the friends and family. Thanks again Marianne for your delicious food and all your hard work! Grandma and Grandpa Greaves were also down for the weekend which is always a treat. Grandma came with us to watch the fireworks show. It was soooo long but pretty. The big show was good but our little show, in the driveway, made me remember that I don't like fireworks that well, they are to loud and I hated the kids being old enough to light them and play with them-I'm turning into such a mom :) 
Matt, Marcus and I went on a horse ride up Daniel's Canyon on Saturday while the kids rode Grandpa's 4-Wheeler around the yard. The trail was called the bucket trail,(I even saw the bucket on the trail). Badger had a spill and Matt hurt his elbows but it was a great ride.We got to see Tim and Sharon's cabin and visit with them. We did get rained on on the way home so we had to get out our slickers. We also had to break into the truck because the keys got locked inside, your awesome honey :) We got Matt a Father's Day card with Indiana Jones on the front. It played the theme song and said, "To a Father who is good in just about any situation" and it is so true. Matt is so handy and can fix anything!
