4th of July and Swimming Pool

Ok, after this post I am all caught up. On the 4th we started out at the West Jordan Parade. We drove down a half hour before the parade started, just before they closed the road. When they did close the road we hurried up and sat in the middle of 7800 S. Good seats, lame parade. It was really slow going. There wasn't much candy either. Judson did enjoy the flag he got. It was fun hanging out, but we ended up leaving after an hour because of the boredom. Darren had gone on a bike ride with his sister Heather early in the morning. They did the Tour de Riverton. It was a 25 mile bike ride around Riverton. They said they had fun and he did get a free t-shirt and water bottle. Then we had a little BBQ with a couple of my sister's and their fams. Then we went to the Farr's, ate good food and had fireworks. Judson loved it. It was a full day with little nap for Judson. We came home, put him to bed and Darren and I watched for the Riverton fireworks to check if we could see them from our house. We sort of can, but the elementary is in the way. I figure next year we'll walk over and sit on the lawn at the elementary and watch. That will be nice and convenient. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!!






It was really hot on Monday and Judson and I were home alone. I wanted to do something fun, so we went to the store, bought a pool, came home and Judson went for a swim. Actually more of a stand. The water was really cold. He still loved splashing around, just not sitting in the water. When he swam on Tuesday the water was much warmer and he loved sitting and laying on his belly. It's a great $10 spent!

Wow! We did a lot with you this weekend! It was a fun one. I love how serious Judson is holding up his flag. He tried so hard to get it into a small hole in the asphalt. He could've cared less about the parade!

Oh fun! We didn't do anything really over the holiday. We just gamed it up the whole time and then went and saw some fireworks that were okay. I am so excited to come to Utah!!
