Having a Blast-4th of July



We started off our week of the fourth fun with a dip in Deer Creek Resivoir. We took the Huggards out on the lake. Grandpa Huggard showed up in his levis, but he was the first to jump on the jumbo dog (I think this was the first time I have been around Don and water that he didn't fall in). We had a great time in the lake and surprisingly there were not too many boats. The water was cold, but that didn't seem to bother anyone.


Then we went to STADIUM of FIRE!!!! Bailey thinks Carrie Underwood is the best singer EVER and Chase is determined that he is going to marry her, so we decided this was the year to go. My kids were so excited to be there. Just doing "the wave" around the stadium and the 3D glasses were neat for them. Wade loved the fighter planes that soared over our heads. Bailey knew every word to every song that Carrie Underwood sang. Chase did the wildest dances ever during her songs, and we all absolutely loved the fireworks. The only dissappointment was that Chase had expected to get up on the stage with Carrie and give her a kiss. That just didn't work out.
The next day was Grandma Huggard's 4th of July party! We always have fun at the Huggards. Grandma always has creative crafts for the kids to make and we have fun playing games on the lawn. This year we had a pretty competitive game of kick ball between the boys and the girls. Grandpa sprinted a little too fast and hurt is leg, we hope he gets better soon

I would make a bet that Don Huggard has more hats collected than anyone else in the world, and my kids are the lucky ones to start inheriting the hats. We found some pretty OLD and pretty funny hats. Bailey actually found one from the 70's that said "Bailey's on the front. James found his favorite "Where's the Beef." This is a picture of Chase with one of his favorites.

This year we made it to Central's town party. We ate and did all kinds of races. The kids did foot races, three legged races and sack races. They won quarters for each race and then bought ice cream with their quarters. Wade ran in every race whether it was 7 year olds, 17 year olds, or 77 year olds--Derek and him ran them all!Then to top off the wild weekend we went camping with the Jeffs clan up Huntington Canyon. Bailey can think of some great games and all the cousins play. They love hanging out with their cousins!!! I had classes I had to take so for the rest of the week my kids got to play and swim and play some more. The never stopped from sun up to way past sunset.
