Happy 4th!

The 4th was on a Sunday this year so we started our holiday by attending church and then we layed the kids down for a nap so they could stay up to watch the fireworks since it doesn't get dark until 9:00. After nap-time we headed over to Jim and Kayleen's for some swimming and barbecuing. Then we headed over to the golf course in their neighborhood and got to watch an amazing fireworks show! This was all new for us since we usually are in Newport for the 4th, but it was a nice change! The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! I love celebrating our country, I love our flag and its colors, all the yummy food isn't bad either and of course the beautiful fireworks!

A Utah Weekend

Immediately after Disneyland we turned around and went to SLC for the annual Krahenbuhl Reunion. Bryce also had a race in nearby Tooele that we were able to watch. We arrived on Thursday just in time to get settled. On Friday the boys went to Park City to some mountain biking so Ashlee and I along with my Aunt Jackie took the kids to my favorite The Hogle Zoo!

Hailey and Peyton love to ride the carousel

Jackie and Jax in the giraffe's barn? I guess that's what you would call it.

In front of The Hogle Zoo. Hailey was only one not sleeping or grumpy that was willing to hop on the wall!
Before going to the family reunion we stopped a famous bakery in Utah to pick up some treats for everyone and wow were they a favorite! YUM!
The property that we have the reunion at has chickens and so of course thats all my kids care about.
My cute Jax!

On our way to the reunion we were telling the twins a story about how Peyton had fallen into the empty fire pit last year and warning them to stay away from it this time. Well this year it was Hailey who took a spill into it. Only this time it had some hot coals in it! She had a pretty deep burn on her leg but nothing really serious, thank goodness. But, she was very sad and so everyone doctored her up and about 5 minutes later she was running around with all the kids again!

We had a great weekend visiting family and enjoying all the fun things to do in Utah! Unfortunately I did get my wallet and sunglasses stolen, but after realizing there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it I decided not to let it put a damper on the weekend! I also didn't get any pictures of Bryce's race, but he did awesome! He ended up getting a 4th both days!
