Fourth of July Weekend

We had Chris's parents in town for the Fourth and we had a nice weekend. On Friday we went to Park City and saw Wall-E with the kids. Let me say I loved the movie. It had a more "political" message and it was totally a message that I agreed with. It was nice going to Park City since the theater was empty. We pretty much had the theater to ourselves on a holiday. Afterwards, we went to Cafe Rio (there's one there now!) and did some shopping. Then we came home and had a barbecue that evening. Then we got the blankets and chairs out and had some root beer floats while sitting in the grass watching the fireworks from Midway and the shows all of our neighbors were putting on. Then we let the kids play with sparklers and pop-its before heading to bed. We really wanted to take the boat out this weekend but unfortunately we can't get it out right now since we had a huge pile of bark delivered and they dropped it off on the driveway right in front of the boat. On Saturday we worked in the yard a ton and got a lot of horrible weeds pulled. We laid down landscape fabric and put bark down on all the flower bed areas that got over run with noxious weeds. We still have a lot more areas to do though and the pile of bark remains blocking the boat. Then we had a yummy barbecue for dinner with Mahi Mahi fish tacos. Later we had smores while playing a game of Scrabble. (I won!)

Here is my attempt at getting Abby to sit still for 2 seconds to take her picture...
Fun with sparklers... Can you tell what it spells?
