4th of July!

This year for the forth of July we went to the parade here in Rexburg! It was a little slow starting and there was a lot of long gaps in the parade line but overall we had a ton of fun! Believe it or not it was both Connor and Adams first parade ever! It was cool that they got to have that "first" together!  Connor didn't really notice much of what was going on in the parade, he was too busy watching the people beside us.  He did really well and the loud noises didn't really phase him.

After we got back from the parade it was def nap time for Connor! He was pretty tired.  My friend Charity and her husband Neil were in town so they stopped by to visit for awhile.  It was good getting to catch up with them!  We had fun talking and such.  Connor did really well w/ them too, usually he gets really shy and just stares at adam and me, but this time he looked at her and smiled and babbled.  Once they left Adam and I took like a 2 hour nap! it was SO nice and Connor actually let us sleep for that long.  We grabbed dinner at DQ and then headed to the fireworks with my sister Ash and her friend from home Laura.  We just went to the show here in Rexburg since Adam had work the next morning and we knew it would take awhile to get home from IF with all of the traffic.   We watched the show at the nature park and it was really nice bc there wasn't alot of people there!  there was plenty of space to stretch out and see the show. We played a game of phase 10 while we waited (or a little more than half a game bc Connor was getting fussy).  He fell asleep while Adam and I took him on a walk.  It was so crazy bc he slept thru the entire show! He laid in his stroller and the loud bangs of the fireworks didn't even disturb him! The show was alright, def not the best and nowhere close to the fireworks back home! But we did enjoy ourselves and that is all that counts.

Sunday we went on a long walk at the nature park.  It really was the perfect day for a walk.  Connor loves being pushed in his stroller.  Adam and I decided that we wanted to set the rest of the fireworks we bought off so we were just going to do it there.  With in mins we had an audience of little kids watching us.  It is a little scary that their parents didn't care that their children were off by strangers! Connor didn't mind the noise and he seemed to like the lights.. that was until we shot off a "killer Bee" and he started screaming and clung to me.  Poor baby.. it was so sad! 

 Monday we went to Panda Express with Ash and Karleia! It was so busy! We basically had to fight to get a table that would fit the 4 of us! But the food was so worth it!  We bought Connor a seat that hooks unto the back of Adam's bike.  We were a little worried that he wouldnt like it but boy were we wrong! We took him on a ride and he just sat back their taking in the view and slobbering all over his straps that held him in!  HA the sad thing is that just going on a 15 min bike ride wore Adam and I out! Looks like we need to go more often to get back in shape!
