"F" is for FIREWORKS!

I love the 4th of July! It is one of my favorite holidays. We headed to a fireworks show on Friday night that was great! We staked out our spot and settled in for a little sunbathing and fun until the sun went down. Larkin had her own hat to wear, but decided dad's was much more fun!


They had a band play right before the fireworks started that was very fun! We danced and laughed and sang along to all the Oldies ... that's the music I grew up on, so it was nostalgic for me and fun on many levels.


In the morning we got up EARLY and drove to Bren and Dave's house. We went to a fun little parade ... It was much longer than I thought it would be. Scot and I joked on the way up about staying in the car to watch the parade so we wouldn't have to cart Larkin in and out ... but it was fun. We were festive spoting our Red White and Blue for the day ... well until Larkin starting barfing through her outfits ... no holidays from the baby barf!


It was a jam-packed day! After the parade, we packed our lunch and packed into the cars and drove up to Bear Lake. We spent the afternoon up there playing in the water and relaxing on the beach. There were literally THOUSANDS of people there. It was intense. The water was fun, and Larkin even played in the water for a little while.


We had to leave our mark on Bear Lake ... we will be back soon to play and relax and sunbathe ... such a great way to spend a fun holiday! Outside and with Family. It doesn't get much better!


When we'd had our fill of sunbathing and wading we headed back to Bren and Dave's house for a bbq and some games ... we were all SO pooped! It took everything we had to stay up and do fireworks on their driveway once the sun went down ... it really was a fabulous weekend!
