We have made it a tradition to join my parents in St. George for their ward's annual 4th of July Parade & Breakfast.This morning, it hardly seemed worth getting up at 5:00am, dragging the kids out of bed, rushing them ready & then running out of the house by 5:30am.
I knew that the kids really wanted to go, so not wanted to disappoint them we did get up at 5:00am and made it to the parade in time. Once I saw the smiles on their faces, it was all worth it!!!
Oakley was proud of her "parade hair". She also enjoyed pulling Charity & her cousin, Ember around in the wagon for the Parade.
Garrett & Kyller enjoyed the parade on their scooters. They headed up the parade almost the entire way (about 4 blocks
BREAKFAST
I didn't think that anything could top the parade for Charity today, but when we got to breakfast she found herself a way on the table and made her rounds to everyone's plate.
I think she liked the cinnamon rolls the best!!!
AT THE PARK
We enjoyed another annual event! Face painting....although Oakley decided to get it done on her arm and not on her face. Even Charity got her face painted!!! Believe it or not, all of their paintings made it to the end of the day!!!
Garrett took on the rock climbing wall. I was so proud of my usually very scared child. He asked me if he could try it and I told him I would pay for it if he would try...and boy did he try!!! He got hesitated a couple of times when he had to let go with one foot and one had at the same time, but he was able to pull through and make it to the top!!! WAY TO GO GARRETT!!!
SWIMMING
We finished off the day with some swimming & a barbeque. Payton took the kids to the fireworks show in Mesquite later after we got home!

That was a huge post!!! I loved it. It almost made me feel like I was there and that makes me happy! Love Oakley's hair and Charity is a doll!! Garrett and Kyller looked so cute. I can't believe how old Kyller looks. It makes me miss them all so much. I hope to spend as much time possible with them when we come to visit. Can't wait. Tell them all I said 'hi'
