4th of July weekend

We had a fun 4th of July weekend. We started with a wheeler ride up 4 mile canyon by Cedar Fort. Daves been wanting to check that canyon out forever. So we left in the morning and packed a lunch planning on being gone most of the day. Well, poor dave is stuck with a wife who is "large with child" (as dave would call me) and the trail was SUPER bumpy and rocky. I was trying to be a good sport, but my 8 mo pregnant belly just couldnt take any more. So after a while me and the girls pulled over and took a break, relaxed and had our lunch while caden and dave went on further to explore.

Aspen and Caden ready for the long bumpy journey ahead of them in the back of the Gator. (They lasted about 10 mins)

A view from where Caden and dave stopped.

Caden sitting on a wooden port a pottie he and dave found. Not sure what hes pointing at down there!!

This is what we did while dad and caden were more adventurous. Had a picnic then made us a little bed and took a nice rest!

After we got back from our ride in the early afternoon we headed down to Krista and Koles for a water party and bbq.

Caden loved the slip n slide!! He would get any ones attention that he could then hed get a big huge run then when he got to a little puddle in the slide he would stop and then just throw himself down and laugh and laugh!

Yeaaa for the slip-n-slide... watch out here comes Cameron!

Waiting for the fireworks

Aspen

Caden absolutely LOVED all the fireworks! he just sat in his chair and would yell and clap at them then as soon as they were done he would say "more!"

On Monday morning we headed up to Deere Creek to do some fishing. We got there a little late for the fishing I think because we didnt catch anything but it was fun. We got my mom and little sister Alexa to come with us. Alexa was good to chase my kids and play in the water with them.

Caden eating it! Alexa tried to catch him, but didnt quite make it :)

On the way home we went to Highland Glen park for a picnic and dave was determined to catch a fish...... the kids had a blast feeding the ducks and fishing

Feeding the ducks

Caden got a hold of a twinkie :)

There were lots of little fish swimming around and eating the leftover bread the ducks didnt eat so the kids decided to put bread on a little hook and drop it right below them in the water and they would just watch as the bread was devoured then when it was all gone they would pull up the hook and there would usually be a little fish on like this. They caught around 7 I think. They thought it was pretty cool :)

Alexa was very proud!

Aspen didnt want to hold it... just touch it

Kaylee with her big fish

Daves BIG catch for the weekend :) He was so proud!
