Fourth of July Fun

Brooke's first Fourth of July was a lot of fun. We started off our day by waking up at 6 am, and getting to the Stake Center at 7 am for a pancake breakfast and Fourth of July celebration. However it really didn't start until 8 am (I was really confused about what was going on) so we sat in the car and hung out until we decided to get some seats. We heard from The Mayor, an Assembly man, and The Stake President. It was followed by pancakes, eggs, and Sausage (Yum!). It was a great way to start off our day.

We then headed to the park, where we decorated the stroller, and walked down a little path and had a parade for some of the little kids in the ward. They also did an egg toss, water balloon toss, and more. We didn't get to join in on any of that fun, because Brooke hadn't slept at all. So we came home, and she slept for almost 3 hours. For dinner we had BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches and potato salad. After that we just hung out until the fireworks. When it was time to go watch the fireworks, Brooke was totally asleep, however being the great mom that I am I woke her from her sleep to watch them. When she did pay attention to the fireworks, she would talk and laugh at and to them, but it was hard to direct her attention to the sky. Jason and I had a great day with our baby girl and it was perfect!

Hope you all had a great Fourth of July too! -
