Handcart Festivus!!

It was another busy weekend for us. Camryn and Brooklyn have been taking swimming lessons, and have actually gotten pretty good! They can finally go under water and swim around a little. Woo Hoo! Makes going to the pool a lot nicer. After Friday's lesson, we headed to the festivities at the Bountiful Park. Funny little rides and typical carnival food- it's always a hit. Then we were off to the parade. Somehow I managed to reserve a tiny little spot at 7am to fit the 16 of us. We were right by the announcer. Before the parade started, they were playing music and giving out prizes. As you can see, I did my best to win the prize for the Macarena...no luck. After the long, long, long parade, we ate some Pizza Factory food, then I headed up to the Brown's (Bryce's family) with the twins to watch fireworks. It's our yearly tradition.








Saturday
Nic's friend, Teddy, stayed with us this weekend, so Nic took him and another buddy to the lake EARLY in the morning to get some good water. I spent the day at the cabin with my parents and the kiddos. Grandpa took the girls on a 4-wheeler ride and they rode behind in a little cart. They LOVED it. We met up with Nic and Teddy at Holly's in-laws later that night to enjoy another tradition, the Chamberlain patriotic BBQ. It's always a treat. The night ended at Tammy's house where they had their annual neighborhood fireworks show. My girls loved it and didn't get to bed until 11pm. Did they sleep in the next day? Of course not.
