Celebrating the 4th of July

Avery decided to start celebrating the 4th a little early. On the 3rd she tagged along with me to YW and got to swim with the "big kids." She jumped in and swam around for 2 hours straight. By the end of the night she was WIPED OUT and so cold but she still did not want to go home...I practically had to drag her out of the pool with promises for more exciting things the next day.








On the 4th we woke up early in the morning for a ward breakfast. There were yummy pancakes and sausage, a fun bike parade, and a flag raising ceremony celebrating the land we call home.  Avery decorated her bike with red, white, and blue stars and sparkles. And then she biked around the chapel building about 5 times.


We went over to the Bennions to celebrate the 4th with fireworks and sparklers. Avery loved "writing" with the sparklers and had a great time. Bridger just chilled like usual.





We went to lake Minnetonka and swam around some, and when we were done we got to ride the "train" back to the cars.



We explained to Bridger what was in hotdogs...and this is the face he gave us. ;)


On Saturday we had some fun over at Sidse's house. Avery got to splash around in the pool and sprinklers while the adults played games and chatted. Bridger pretty much slept through the whole thing.
