We had a busy fourth of July Weekend!!! Malana was feeling better the morning of the fourth so we headed to the Ashton parade with Travis' family. Malana loved it and she especially loved the candy!
She loves to pretend that she is one of the bigger girls and Ashlyn and Sidnee are good at including her.
Alex and Malana figured out by the end that if you wave they throw you candy!


It was a fun time seeing all of Travis' old friends and spending time with his family. After the Parade we had lunch at his mom's house and then headed down to Pocatello for fireworks.
When we got to my parent's house they were both Exhausted (Travis stayed up playing X-Box until 3:00 a.m. - yikes)

At my mom's house Malana played with some more cousins, we played games in the backyard and had a barbecue.

At about 7:30 we headed to the fairgrounds to watch the fireworks.

Malana liked the candy.



She HATED the fireworks, when they started she wouldn't even let us hold her she climbed into her stroller hid her face and bawled, by the end she let us hold her but she still wouldn't look at the "pretty's". I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, she hated them last year and when I was pregnant with her she rolled and rolled in my stomach while they were going.
This isn't zoomed we were really just that close, I love the fourth of July!!!
The next day we went the the American Falls reservoir, played in the sand went on the boat and Travis even did a little wake boarding (sorry Tyler!), Thanks Benj and Tracy for taking us!!!





We had a great time but were grateful on Sunday morning to come home and get back to normal... for this week anyways!!

It doesn't get much better than the Ashton parade. It looks like you had a blast.

And it's good to see Travis putting his "water boarding" skills to use to stave off the American Falls terrorists;)
