4th of July at Bear Lake

We had a great 4th of July! Tuesday night the 3rd, we went up to Great Grandma and Grandpa Smoot’s up in Eaglewwod for the big fireworks show. Ady who is usually one tough cookie, was terrified of the loud fireworks. Then we went and had a sleep over at Mima Smoot and Beetba Smoot’s (as Ady calls them, grandma and grandpa) and in the morning went and watched the Centerville Parade and hung out in Centerville for most of the day. It was a ton of Fun! Except it was so hot, Little Max just konked right out.

The the nest day July 5th, we packed our bags and headed out for Bear Lake for the Smoot family reunion, We played at the beach all day and BBq on the beach at night, we stayed in little condos we rented by Bear Lake West. It was a great time. Ady absolutely loved the water and the sand, and Eric loved playing beach volleyball, he played for about 4 hours one day. We had a great little weekend getaway with the Smotts and can’t wait to make it a tradition.

Ady also turned 2 while on the Trip (july 7th) but we are not celebrating it until the 14th, when we are having her real party a little Mexican Fiesta. It should be tons of fun.
