4th of July Weekend

We got to spend the 4th of July weekend up in Salt Lake with Grandma and Grandpa Otteson and the Mahaffeys. We all stayed at The Residence Inn and had a non-stop fun time!

Right when we got to the hotel, Grandma took the kids on a walk to "scout out" where we were going to watch fireworks.

And of course, along the walk, there was an impromptu photo session.
These kids have no personality...can you tell?
Landon found a snack.
Finally! After lots of walking and some sweating...they found the spot. Needless to say, when they got back to the hotel they were REALLY thirsty.
Oh, Grandma Nette and your adventures :)

The next morning was the Annual Evergreen Parade!
Small Parade+Lots of Candy+Family= We'll Be There!

After the parade, we headed to Grandpa Morrison's yard where we ate watermelon and popsicles, picked peas, visited and played.
Again, hard to see the personalities in these kids :)
Great Grandpa with all of the Greats.
Love all of these kids:

Ashley tried her first popsicle:
She is a fan!

Karli had fun playing in the basement.

Next, we headed to the Henriksen's for swimming and a barbecue.
Ashley is so patriotic.
Notice Landon and Sydney immediately in dress ups!

Later that night, we went back to the hotel, Ashley went to sleep, Chad stayed to babysit, and the rest of us headed out to watch fireworks. Turns out "the spot" was pretty amazing. We got to see several shows going on at the same time across the valley. We enjoyed every minute of it!
happy 4th of july
So glad we could spend it with so many great people!
Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Otteson for letting us stay with you!
Karli was in heaven having a sleepover weekend with her cousins in a hotel!
