Independence Day Weekend!

The fourth of July weekend was a lot of fun for us. My cousin Bradford and his wife Kayla came to visit my Grandma from out of town so we were able to spend some time with them. I had not seen Bradford in a long time so it was the first time that Brady and him met and it was the first time that we got to meet Kayla too. They are such a fun couple!

On Friday night we went to La Beau's with Mom and Dad to get a shake and then we headed over to a church parking lot where we had blankets saving our spot for Utah State's firework show. Bradford and Kayla met up with us there to watch. The fireworks were pretty good but the traffic to get home was crazy!
On Saturday we all went on a hike in the Wellsville Mountains. (No worries, there were no near rolling over Yukons this time.) Hollie even got to go. You can tell she is a herding dog by the way that she has to go to the front of the hikers to the back constantly to make sure that everyone is still there. She loves the destination of this hike because we end up at a lake, that is more like a murky pond. She jumped in the water as soon as we came up the hill.



After the hike we went to the Cache Valley car show and walked around. Dad had us all choose a color of car and a year before we were born and then we had to find a car in that color and made in that year.
I found mine right off the bat!
Then Kayla found hers...

Then Brady...

Then Bradford (His color was orange and his year '57. Copper is the closest he could find in his year so we let it pass.)


Then Dad found a car that looked like his first car named Chester!

Brady wanted to win the car they were giving away which was a 1967 Pontiac GTO (Yes, I had to look it up.) so we all went to see if any of our tickets would be drawn.


The Cruisin' Parade is my favorite part of the car show because you get to see all the cars but you get to sit in the shade in stead of walk around in the sun in order to see them.

On Sunday we went over to Grandma Rowley's house for a BBQ. It was fun to play horse shoes and lasso golf.
Grandma always makes sure there is tons of food so we all left stuffed! I had Monday off but Brady had to work so I spent the day cleaning up the apartment and reading one of my books! It was a great weekend!
