July 4th, for real!

What the city of Salt Lake couldn't do on a Sunday, the Salt Lake Bees could.  See, it's okay if private businesses disrespect our particular religious traditions to celebrate the birth of our government, just so long as the government is appropriately indeferential to the first amendment, and forces public institutions to obey our particularly asinine god.

We took the kids to our first baseball game of 2010.  The Bees got killed, they were down 7-0 by the second inning.  Still, we spent lots of money on popcorn, and french fries, and hot dogs that the kids begged for then refused to eat.  After the game, we were herded out onto the field for an awesome fireworks show. You can see the field lights (off) in the photo.  Levi was terrified of the noise. Lily buried her face in my chest at the lights.  Sophie lapped it all up.
