4th of July weekend at the cabin

I didn't take my camera out that much while at the cabin. I mainly just took pictures of the 4th of July parade and fireworks. But I managed to get a few shots in of us just hanging out around the cabin.

I took Paxton to the play area. I sat him in this bench but he would not look at me. He wanted whatever was on the ground.

Finally he looked at me :)

We took the kids for a nature ride. We saw at least 14 deer, we lost count after 14.

Paxton kept crawling to this table and standing up holding onto it

Grandma bought these army guys for the kids to play with, Hayden was in heaven.

Heber's 4th of July fireworks

Every year we go to Heber, AZ for the fireworks. We always leave hours before it gets dark to get a spot in the baseball field. We usually bring things to do to kill time but also as we sit there as a family we have fun just hanging out. We also go to the different booths they have and get yummy treats. Heber has such great fireworks and I always love the weather. Here is some pictures of us just waiting for the show to start.

Got to have glow sticks! This year I found some that had flags on them so I brought those for the kids.

I let Paxton play with Emmie's for a little bit

Fireworks were great. Paxton liked them, I was a little scared they would be too scary for him but he just watched them like nothing. Best part was the 4 firework finales!

4th of July Parade

Like always we head up to the cabin for the 4th of July. It is so much nicer up there because of the cooler weather. It makes celebrating the 4th so much funner because you can really enjoy all the 4th of July activities. Show Low had their parade on Saturday July 3rd. The normal group came...my parents, Adam and Sara's family, Cinda and Sarah, Jay and Emily's family. Also we had some extras... Aaron's brother David was staying in town so him and his family came and sat by us during the parade. Also a family in our ward The Howell's saw us before the parade started (they have a cabin in Show Low) so they ended up sitting by us too. The parade this year was super long! But the kids had a blast getting candy and much more. Some people handed out Hot dogs, Otter pops, Dairy Queen had free ice cream, and more.
