4th of July celebration 2010

What a fun celebration! It lasted all weekend and into Monday. Saturday we went to the Kaysville parade. We stood in the usual spot and hung out with our friends. None of our family came down this year, Casey and Millie were lucky enough to join us. We had Becky and Kristy and Angie and her husband Ronnie and his family were there. Eric and Ashley joined us, she was a little sore from heart surgery but she was doing really well. And it was good to see her and know that she was alive.

Daxton spent most of the parade playing with the dogs. This is Kristy's baby Winston.

They had a helicopter swing by during the parade and Eric and Daxton went over to check it out.

At the end of the Kaysville parade they have a water parade. Its just a big water fight. It wasn't as good this year as it has been in years past. Daxton had a blast, he was so into it. After we got Daxton cleaned up we went to Dylan's for lunch. Good food, good company. :)

Kaysville had free blow up toys for the kids to play on. We waited late enough in the day that there weren't too many kids left so we didn't have to wait in line for a long time. Daxton had fun, he ran from toy to toy as fast as he could.

Daxton fighting the kid...he was hitting him and the other kid just stood there

This was cool, it was a two sided basketball hoop and there was a kid on both sides of the bungee and they would take off running in opposite directions and the first to get all the basketballs in the hoop won. Daxton won!

They had booths at the park and Daxton found this gun so he is spoiled and so I got it for him. That pole right behind him is a flag, my mom cut it off.

After the parade we made our way up to Logan to watch the Cruise Inn. Its a car parade. Its basically my Christmas in July. It was way awesome and it always is so if you want a real opinion you better ask someone who is not in love with cars!

After the Cruise Inn we flew home to watch the Kaysville fireworks. Daxton didn't even care. We lit a few of our own, that was what Daxton liked. Then we sat and watched so dang many people try to get home from the fireworks. Corey and KrisAnn showed up at the end of the fireworks so we lit off a few more.

Then on Monday we went to Lewiston, Utah where my dad is from and we went to the rodeo for a few minutes. We made it in time to watch my cousin Kyler do some team roping. That was fun. We hung out with the Hyer's and Daxton had a blast playing night games with my cousins kids that he has never seen before.

While we where there my cousin had someone come to pick up a colt from her mom and take her to get trained. Well, this was the first time that the two where separated. They were trying to get the colt in the trailer and she just wouldn't go. The mom horse was freaking out and the colt and my grandma, mother and I were not happy they were separating them. Daxton found out what was going on and he was so upset. I think it hit too close to home.

We went home and there were more fireworks in Layton and Farmington but we were so tired that we just went to bed. I heard them going off when I was trying to fall asleep. It was such a nice weekend and it was great to get to spend so much time with Daxton. I hope you all had a fun one too.
