Parades and Patriots ... no pinheads here!

More 4th of July moments....




Parade.

 Colonial costumes and other fun activities at the park showed what things were like in 1776.





 


Cooling off with homemade frozen yogurt.  Who says these kids don't know how to share?

Some pool time.
 Notice Quinn is standing up all by himself!  Just waiting to take a few first steps.

Claire and friend with popsicles.

And finally the Fireworks!!

Oops - no pictures, but you know what they look like.

Up, Up and Away!

 What did you do on the 4th of July?

With Ken off on a trip with his motorcycle buddies, I spent 4th of July with Suzy and family.  We got up early, before 6AM, to see the hot air balloons - which was well worth it.

 
 



 I had no idea we could be in the middle of 25 balloons as they all got ready to take off!

Very Cool!



 


The pink pig was Claire's favorite!  So exciting to touch it as it was inflating!






There they go!!

 




Up, up and away!!!
More 4th of July highlights coming soon.....

Yellowstone Adventures

This is the second of 2 new blogs.  Be sure to see the previous blog with pics of Ryan & Ashley's baby shower.   Here are five of the six cute grandkids - in Sunday best!


The next day, Ryan and Ashley had to return to AZ, but the rest of the family traveled up to Yellowstone for a few days.   Geysers, hiking, animal sitings!

Showered

Ryan and Ashley came up to Utah to visit family and friends - and be the guests of honor at their baby shower given by Ashley's mom.  Here are some photos of the day.

Great picnic dinner.  Nice to see Ryan's old friends from high school days.

Cute cake! We all decorated onesies for the new baby.  Fun gifts!  The whole family was there.  Good thing there was a playground just outside.
