celebrating the 4th on the 3rd...

So for the July 4th weekend we went to Kanab to visit Kole's mom. The 4th was celebrated on Saturday the 3rd, in Kanab. We woke up and went to the Parade with my mother in law and her boyfriend and we met up with Kris and Danielle and their kids. Kanab always has awesome parades, they give out tons of candy to the kids and at the end the fire department hoses down everyone.





























































After the parade we went to the Junction for lunch(which has the best waffle fries ever!!) and then to the park where they had a bunch of booths and things to do. We bought water wienies and went back to my mother-in-laws and got completely soaked!! I only played for a little bit then sat out cuz I didn't feel very good. But Kole, being the awesome uncle he is played with the kids for hours! (sorry about the pole in the picture, I was sitting on the porch and if you go out onto the grass they get you wet.)







































Later in the day we loaded up in Holly's tracker and Kole's truck and took a trip up to the TV towers. It was very sandy and dry and it was a bumpy, slow ride up there. It was kind of funny trying to go up a hill and backing down and back up and backing down only to get up one hill with both vehicles to find another one we had to go up. we finally made it!! Needless to say going back down was a lot easier but not as funny!!


























(you can kind of see my tummy now..lol)











When we got back we had an awesome BBQ and watched fireworks in the front yard.
We went home on the actual 4th and just hung out together and did laundry and all that fun stuff you get to do when you get home from a trip. Luckily we both had the 5th off too so we got an extra day of vacation. And we got to watch the Hurricane fireworks.
Happy 3 days of the 4th!!!
