Our family celebration of the holiday was mainly relegated to yesterday, seeing as how July 4 falls on a Sunday (today) this year. That being said, we continued a sort of new family tradition by going out to see a Pixar movie, Toy Story 3, at the Gateway (last year, it was Up). It was my second time seeing Toy Story 3, and I found myself laughing and enjoying it a lot - again.
Afterward, many of us went up to Mike and Jana's place for a BBQ and to shoot off fireworks with the kids. Dallin once again made it his priority to go around throwing snaps and smoke bombs at people’s feet, while the girls multi-tasked and threw fireworks while riding their bikes. Jackson, meanwhile, was preoccupied singing "Joy to the World" (yes, really).
Today actually being July 4, we had a patriotic-themed meeting of sorts at church, singing "America the Beautiful" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" to open and close the meeting, respectively.
Happy birthday, America.
