4th of July

We had a rockin’ fourth of July! We started out early by heading to the Clearfield parade, I wasn’t so sure if Xander would get into the festivities, but he totally did! I had to hold his hand a few times and run out to grab the candy the floats were throwing but after a few times he picked up quick and sooner then you know it he was darting around snatchin up as much candy as he could and was so proud to admire his stash! It was so fun to watch him get so excited and he waved and said hi to everyone!

After the parade we hung out at Nick’s sister;s and grabbed some breakfast before we headed to the next activity on our list. When we caught our breath we headed to a big backyard pool party! Xander is like a fish in the water and has no fear, so we invested in a good old life jacket for our amphibian of a son, that way maybe he might make it to the day we put his little bum in swim lessons, A.S.A.P!

Once we had enough fun in the sun we raced to get ready and we met back up with Nick’s family at the best place ever, Burger Bar and grabbed us some dinner before we headed to the demolition derby in Ogden. We were running late and there was a line of cars waiting to find parking and we noticed people driving into a backyard at a near by house and we followed them and found us a spot for $5, those people are pretty clever, it was great! So anyways we had a great time and saw some definitely peculiar people, if you know what I mean! But it was a fun to watch the cars crash into each other and especially exciting to see a few cars rammed over the cement barriers! It was wild! After the derby there were fireworks, which were good, but we haven’t seen any that top Cedar’s opening ceremonies fireworks for the summer games, but that’s OK it was still fun of course!

Xander was a monster from all the cotton candy, sweets, and junk he'd eatin all day, and ended up throwing up because he was so upset for waking him up to put him into bed, but when the night was over were totally spent and we crashed as soon as our heads hit the pillow. So all in all I'd say it was a very successful day! :)
