24th of July Celebration

We just HAD to head to Utah to celebrate the 24th of July!! It was a really, really, really fun time.

Scratch that. It was a really, really, really fun time EXCEPT the drive there and back. Between potty breaks, accidents, accidents, accidents and a low-fuel panic attack, I may never drive there again. :)

So...it was a good thing we had a fun time!!

Started off with a big old party at my parents house. Water slide, snocones, cousins, fireworks all make for a great party!! My parents pulled out all the stops and the kids had a grand, grand time. I love that they are making these memories that will last forever.







Bry with her cousin Kaysha.




Snocones!!




BBQ - always tasty!



Uncle Kurt braved taking all the kids down the waterslide!



We got to do lots of fun fireworks this year due to the new Utah laws! We did parachutes out in the park - the kids had fun chasing them down! Bry was THRILLED to get a pink one!





The 4 mom's got to chase a parachute too....guess who caught it?!? YOURS TRULY!! :)



On Sunday we decided to take a little hike up Rocky Mouth trail to see a waterfall. The hike was a little more than we bargained for with 5 kids, but we had a good time. The water was freezing!!












Time to go home.....fun place!!

  1. Not to mention a sleepover with a movie that included a Darth Maul look alike followed up the next morning with french toast, a giant spider, alpine slide, zipling and Lagoon twice...well sort of twice :)

  2. Looks like fun! We're headed to Utah for a Family Supporting adoption conference next week, but the most exciting thing we'll be doing is a day at IKEA. The boys will have a great time with their cousins though.
