Happy Belated 4th of July

I know July is nearly over and I'm just barely posting our 4th of July adventures...but better late than never, right? We had a great time over the holiday weekend. Unfortunately I don't have photos of many of our activities, so I will ramble for a moment about our outings and then on to the few photos I managed to get.
We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Allen's for a couple nights. The guys ran the Filmore Freedom Mile while the girls saved seats for the parade...the longest parade of my life, I might add. Then we headed to Delta for a delicious dutch oven dinner at Brad and Heidi's. After stuffing ourselves to overflowing we went to Delta's famous Demolition Derby. Kyri seemed to enjoy herself nearly as much as the adults. We had front row seats, which meant much flying dirt/mud, which meant little clumps of dirt in the next diaper change. Glad it was Gary's turn. After the Derby we again had front row seats for the fireworks. Kyri was beyond exhausted, but enjoyed the fireworks almost as much as she enjoyed smiling and giggling at the 10 year old boy sitting behind us....she's just workin' it early....and that's fine with us.

off with the hat!
After our time in Filmore and Delta we went further south. Before arriving in Mesquite we stopped at Sand Hollow for a quick lake trip. It rained a bit while we were out, but the consensus shows a great time was had by all......

.......or was it? Kyri wasn't quite sure what to think
Pop's hair blowin in the wind as he navigates his course on the lake
Kyri finally decides she quite enjoys the boat
especially since she can watch her daddy's awesome moves on the wakeboard
pleased as punch
Heather decides to learn to wakeboard in the rain. Brave soul...she must really want to impress the Allen's (or at least Todd) :) and it worked....very impressed (especially Todd)!!
Kyri decided she wanted to get her feet wet.....
....but that wasn't quite enough so she went for a swim with daddy...and waves to her mama who was still on the boat
exhausted after such a day as this

I love taking the little ones on the boat with grandpa! It is always so fun for them, except those darn lifejackets always seem to get in their way! Once again we wish we could have been there to enjoy the lake with everyone!

Good to see some new pics! I'm a little upset you made it down south and didn't take me with you. I was supposed to go last weekend but I couldn't hack it with the belly and the girl all by myself. I guess your pics will have to do. I can see my mountains in the background. D day is close! Miss ya.
