4th of July

So we spent the 4th relaxing and visiting friends.  At 2 we went to see Jared Peterson who just returned from his mission.  He was having a little backyard get together.  It was good to talk with him and his dad, Jay.  After sitting with the big people for a while, Brigam was bored and asked if he could swing on the swing set.  Of course!  So he and another girl started swinging along on the Costco, wooden swingset.  Pretty soon we hear a loud crack and as I look over, I see Brigam who looks like he is pinned under this metal beam that was hold the swings up.  The whole thing broke and the kids both fell to the ground.  I think the beam did hit him in the head, but with the way it landed and was still attached to another piece of support, it probably hit pretty softly considaring the size of the whole thing.  Shortly after that we high-tailed it out of there since Brigam had "brought the roof down", we assumed our work there was done.

After a good, 4th of July nap, we headed down to Pam's where we BBQ'd with their family and the Jensens.  Mike spent "the best $5.00 he ever spent" on dry ice and proceeded to make dry ice bombs.  Their poor dog, Zack, thought the world was about to end and was DYING to get in the house.  That was funny.  Here's some video of our epic night:

After that, we just stayed at Pam's as she moved into a new house and the previous owners said you could see all the fireworks from their house.  You could see them if you were in the middle of their street, looking though the neighbor's side yard, and cocking your head to the side.  But we did see them.  We couldn't hear them too well.  I told her next time we are going down to the river!  :)
