Fourth of July

 We headed to Granite for fireworks on the 3rd.  The most interesting part of this night was when Ethan got lost!!  It was dark and Ethan had been asking about getting a light up sword.  He asked mom if he could go see how much they cost and mom said no.  So he then asked Dad and he said sure.  So Ethan left to find out the price.  Well, the fireworks began and we all enjoyed the show not realizing that Ethan was not there.  After the show was done AJ asked where Ethan was.  Jon remembered that he had said he could go check out the price.  So we began looking for him and Evette went to the front stage to have them announce for Ethan to come to the stage.  We didn't fine him right away and began to get worried.  They announced Ethan's name several times and by then many members of the extended Bentley family were looking for Ethan.  Finally, Grandpa was directed to the lost and found area and found Ethan.  He held onto him and wouldn't let him go.  Ethan said that when the fireworks began a family noticed him and told him to sit with them.  When the show was halfway over the Dad of the family helped Ethan look for us.  They could not find us so he took him to the lost and found.  Ethan said they gave him a pencil and a water bottle and he waited inside a truck.  When I heard that Ethan was found I finally broke down crying.  We were very relieved to find Ethan and Jon was sorry for his poor parenting.  What really touched me was how worried my extended family was and how they were all looking for him and making phone calls.  It's nice to know you have so many people that love and care about you.
 On Saturday we headed to Bountiful for a parade.  Jon and I were driving separately because I was headed back to Draper that night and Jon was staying in Bountiful and then heading back to Wyoming for work.  Well, I had to turn off to get gas and Jon headed on to Bountiful.  Long story short, Jon did not meet up with  the Peterson family and had to watch the parade without us.

Saturday night we went to a Buzz game with the Petersons.  The kids had fun goofing off.  The highlight of the game were the fireworks afterwards.  We were able to go right onto the field and could feel the ashes falling on our faces.  It was a great show.
