BIG First 4th!!!

What a weekend!! We started Friday in Idaho Falls at our friend's Taylor and Sarah for a BBQ, a little volleyball and then we watched the big fireworks show right from their yard! It was full of good times!! Haddyn LOVES her Aunt Sarah (and Uncle Taylor), that's for sure!

Haddyn loved her first experience with the fireworks, well, as much as an 8 1/2 month old can. Actually, she watched for about 15 minutes before falling into a sweet slumber on her daddy's lap.
So, the next morning we called our friends Mike and Kaci to have breakfast and at 11:00 AM we decided to head to Bear Lake and hang out for a bit. The only issue with that was Scott, Haddyn and I had to be in Riverdale, by Ogden, by 5:00 PM to meet with some of our best friends from New Jersey...The Jensen's. Long story short, we had a great hour and a half of play time and off we went to Riverdale with directions from MapQuest telling us it would take 1 hour and 15 minutes to get there...well, it took 2 hours and our friends were waiting almost an hour for us. Dang that spontaneity!!!







Haddyn loved the water...she is very much so a water baby. She also loved to eat the sand--that was a first!! MMMM!!! It's just not a true "Bear Lake experience" without some sand to chew on!!


Our Saturday ended with meeting Mike and Kaci out in Tooele at my sister's house where we all stayed the night and Scott and I stayed for a BBQ the next day. Haddyn was swinging on a VERY nice baby swing (I want one just like it when we have a swing set) and my niece Morgan was playing with her and making her laugh and all of a sudden we all stopped hearing the giggles and looked up to see this...
So cute, right??? Morgan just continued trying to grab Haddyn's feet and make her laugh, but unfortunately there was not much of a response : )
Well, that was pretty much all and we had so much fun running from one end of our world to the other! It keeps us on our toes, that's for sure. Hope everyone's 4th was so much fun!!!

Sounds like you had a busy, fun holiday. I also love to go walking at that park by my house so if you are ever here give me a call.

Wow, you guys look like you had a blast! I feel so bad about having her floaty swim suit when you went to Bear Lake. Those are the cutest pictures with Haddyn, she is such a beautiful girl. Kaydence loved the fireworks too, it is so fun seeing them experience everything for the first time.
