We're recovering from a long 4th of July weekend consisting of 2 firework shows, 1 pancake breakfast, 1 family bbq and a portrait session for our little one year old. On Sunday night we went to the Lake Perry fireworks show. It was really fun. We parked along the side of the road, along with lots of other people, and enjoyed the show. This was Ava's 1st time really watching fireworks so we weren't sure what to expect. She LOVED them. It was so cute to see her pointing, clapping. laughing, and oohing and aweing. (sp?). She was also trying to describe the fireworks using her signs - flower, light and ball.
On Tuesday morning we went to our Ward's Pancake Breakfast. The food was yummy and Ava had lots of fun playing on the park equipment. She spent a fair amount of time trying to climb up the small slide that led to more stuff. She would climb almost the whole way and then would slide back down...over and over again. When she finally made it to the slide she was so happy.
Ava had some help going down the slide. She rode with her friends William, Jasmine and Lydia. She even went down solo a couple of times. What a BIG girl!
We had a family bbq at Ava's granparents' house. She loves riding the rocking horse that her mommy used when she was a kid.
Here is Ava with her 2 cousins. (Grandkids 2, 3, & 4). All three of these kiddos were born within a year of each other.
Grandma made some strawberry pie. Ava scooted back to sit on Aunt Vanessa's lap once she saw her get a plate with pie. Aunt 'Nessa was kind enough to share.
We had a great, long weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday.
