I started the 4th festivities off with running in the 5k. Anne, Sarah, Jenny and Troy also ran the race. It was such a nice course and I finished in 29 minutes and was 14th in my age group!!! The mayor of Layton was cheering everyone on at the finish line. Anne and I had to get a picture with him. I have really starting to love to run, so in November I am going to run my first half marathon!! yahoo!! After the race I had to go to work, so Brett took Avery to the parade.
Brett said she watched the whole thing which is good for her. Usually she would run off, but she was highly entertained. They got lots of candy and had a blast. After the parade it was time for a nap!
After work we went to Cafe Rio for dinner and then to Jenny's for fireworks. It wasn't dark enough yet, so we just hung out and had some yummy ice cream cones. Avery's favorite treat these days. As soon as the fireworks started the neighbors dogs came running over. They were trying to eat them. It was so hilarious!! Annie would never do that she is so scared of the fireworks. Avery wasn't quite sure about the fireworks at first, but she warmed up to the idea pretty quick. Soon she was clapping after every one.
Then we were off to see the big fireworks show at the Layton park. Brett took Avery home to go to bed, but I was able to go with my family. Layton city really knows how to put on a fireworks show. It was a blast!! Love the 4th.
