Fabulous Fourth

We decided last minute that it'd be a lot of fun to spend the 4th with Tanner's sister Leah and her family. We drove down to Ogden, UT the morning of the 4th, during Layla's naptime, and got there around 2? I can't quite remember... maybe it's because our car's air conditioning stopped working halfway there. That's about and hour and a half of driving in the scorching heat of Utah. I think I might have blacked out a bit or lost a little brain functioning or something. Anyway, we made it and had so much fun hanging out with the Knighton's!

Layla and Ike are at the age where they can really have a lot of fun together. I realized that people need to make a "doggie door"  big enough for toddlers, because they want in and out all the time! Here's a picture of the two of them trapped outside :)

Gotta love the smooshed faces here. Silly kids.

Every time I took the camera out, Ike would demand a picture taken. This was the best one.

Out of all the yummy food, Layla's favorite snack was ice in a cup. 

Ike is such the comedian, chucking rocks out into the yard. Layla couldn't get enough.

Our day consisted of eating till we were stuffed, playing games, watching Cars, and just relaxing. There is a big fireworks show in Kaysville that started around 10pm. I was very surprised that Layla stayed awake for it! I kept asking her all day if she wanted to see the fireworks and she'd say, "Yeah, Fowerworks!!" Last year was a nightmare for us (well mostly her and I because Tanner had a blast lighting them off all night). SO... I was anxious to see if she'd have the same reaction. Thankfully, she LOVED them! She was SOOOO excited to see them going off and even more excited that there were "pink fowerworks!". 

Most of my pictures looked like this... kind of resembling jellyfish.

Pink fowerwork

This was her expression throughout most of the show. We were all bummed, because Ike slept through the whole thing and was probably the one MOST excited. All in all, it was a very fun filled day. We left around 11:20 and got back into Rexburg around 3am. Late night, but well worth it!
