Fourth of July, Bear Lake, and Max's Birthday

Max had his birthday while we were at Bear Lake with Neal's family. He requested a pizza party so this is my attempt at a pizza cake.
Max also wanted a pinata for his birthday so we had a lot of fun trying to make our own. It was quite messy but they turned out to be pretty strong. I'll have to post a video of one of the boys trying to break it. They really had to go to town on them. It was quite the scene.
Max's first attempt on the tube. It didn't go too well. They fell off right from the beginning. It took a lot of coaxing and persuading and whatever else to get him to think about it again. Max finally decided that once he was six he would be old enough to try again. Good thing he turned six the next day!
Fourth of July festivities included face painting. I stood in line, for what seemed like forever, waiting to have someone paint the boys faces. Eventually, I gave up and realized that there were areas where you could do the face painting yourself. This is Kaylin's face painting attempts. I thought she did an excellent job. Max loved it. The twins had super hero masks painted on them. I guess we didn't get a picture of them. I'm sure you can imagine just how cute they were.
Our family tradition at the Provo Balloon Fest. We get there a little late this year. The balloons were already way up in the air by the time we arrived. Oh well, we made it there nonetheless and even got donuts afterward. That's all that mattered I guess.
