Independence Day




This Fourth of July was jam packed with stuff to do! We started the weekend off by camping at North Fork where we did the whole outdoor gig. We started the weekend off by fishing. I'm proud to say that I was the only one to catch a fish--and, I did it by casting half my pole in the water. When I reeled it in, I had the top half of the pole and a fish! Brykn wasn't too high on holding the fish, but he finally gave in. The fish was tiny and Brykn told me it was just his size.

On the Fourth, we came back to West Weber for the annual celebration. I made Brykn a float for the parade. He was sooooo cute! I had no idea the parade route would be over 3 miles, but Brykn roped the entire route with zest. Everyone who saw him laughed at how cute he looked and how "into it" he truly was. (I now realize how hard all those floats Mom used to put toghether for me were. Mom always said that "some day when you are a mother you will understand." And, boy do I now understand!) The parade was fun because Grandma Sally and Scott, TJ and Sami, and Grandma and Grandpa Wall were there to watch him.

The last part of the weekend was spent at the Liberty celebration. We had so much fun! They have a really fun dance, great fireworks, and a make-shift caterpiller ride for the kids. What a great holiday!

Brykn really was the cutest, and the best part of the entire celebration. Yes and he did rope with zest, and a grin from ear to ear.
It was a nice weekend for all. Happy Birthdday America....
