We had a wonderful 4th of July this year! It was our first one we were able to spend as a couple in Cedar! We started the day at 5:40 AM when our alarm clock went off after which we put some mismatching clothes on and headed to the Fire Station to meet my dad for some 4th of July fun!!
Explanation: In Cedar, the firemen shoot of LOUD fireworks at 6:00 AM to signify the 4th of July. We have been going with my dad for the past ten years at least and it never gets less fun! In fact, quite the opposite! This year (the third), we lit the fireworks right smack in front of my grandma's house. [Note: This is not one of the designated spots to light fireworks.] Although it's probably not the best thing to do, it sure is fun!!! Thanks, dad, for the 4th of July tradition! We LOVE it!
For our family party that night, I made this "right out of a magazine" fruit pizza! I thought it turned out really cute! And, it was delicious!
We finished the night up by watching the city fireworks in the back of a truck and enjoying time spent visiting and giggling with family. (Luckily, Bryce, Bret, or Jake did not burn off their fingers while making fireworks.) Hope everyone had a happy 4th!
