Fourth of July fun!

Wow I havn't posted in a while and feel like there are so many things that I should have posted to preserve those memories, but I am just gonna pick up where we are and go from there.

So the fourth was a really fun day, we started with a fun breakfast at Denny's (a late breakfast at around 10am). While we were there we could see lots of people trying to get a stuffed animal thing out of the vending machine. So we were sitting there eating and this guy comes up to us and asked the kids if they wanted the "firecracker" stuffed toy that he had finally got out of the machine. That was fun, and the kids looked cute all dressed in patriotic outfits, people kept coming up to us and complimenting the kids on how patriotic they all looked. So after breakfast we went to the Vernon Worthen park to play some games. That was fun, but hot so we didn't stay very long there. We didn't want to go back and forth to Ivins, so we just tried to find things to keep us busy in St. George. We went to Barnes & Noble and read and listened to the music players on the wall for about an hour before we went to see Wall-e. We were about 40 min. early for the movie and like the third family in line. Holy moly, that was crazy. The line eventually made it's way out the back door and the movie was like 15 min. late to start. It was a cute show, the kids liked it and it took up a lot of our time trying to occupy ourselves in town before the fireworks. Soo.... from there we thought we would go to Hurricane to watch a softball game and just stay there for the fireworks. We took the kids to Hurricane Elementary to play for a while to take up some time, and after about 5 min of playing Alyssa got stung by a wasp. So we left there and went to have a late lunch at Ted & Allens grill in Hurricane. That was fun and while we were there we decided to go to a Roadrunners (semi-pro baseball team in St. George) game. So we did that and saw our friend Janille and her husband Mike and their cute girls and watched the game together. Ahhhhh.... yeah Im exhausted typing this all out.. So then we went to the College football stadium and watched the fireworks. Whew that was a busy day, but lots of fun!

Here are a bunch of pics from our day, I tried to keep them in order but didn't happen.


Alyssa and Alanah happy to see Janille and her girls!
