4th of July 2012

 For the past 4 years we have been down at Allen's moms house in Gooding for the 4th.  Since the 4th fell in the middle of the week and Sandra was in Idaho fall staying the night with Allen's brother we decided to stay at home and go up to Idaho falls for the day.  We had a great time.  We saw the tail end of the parade, then we got lunch and went to the park.  Later we went to the zoo.  This was Addison's first trip to the Zoo and she loved it.  She sat in the stroller the whole time, didn't complain, and was very excited to see all the animals.  She can make all the sounds and this is how she thinks she is saying the names.  One day we will get more than sounds out of this girl.  She could talk right now, but she chooses not to.  Then we went to Steve and Marianne's house and played on the blow-up water toy.  We really had a great day. 

The Falls

There is a cute little park by the river and we are going to get back there to take some real family pics

Addie ran all over the park.  It is so cute to see her run cause she has such short legs.

My little girl is getting so big.  She has a lot of fun looking around and being outside.She got a little sun and will have a permanent white headband for a bit.

*Having a bigger vehicle has been a lot easier on this mommy!

We went to the zoo.  We don't have a double stroller so we each pushed one.  It was hot but the water mister was a life saver.  The girls were really good and Addie loved the lions the most this trip.

Playing in the water and the slide were all new to this almost 2 yr old and she loved it.  The water was cold but she got use to it.  Grandma was getting big smiles from Livi and trying for a laugh.  Not quite yet. 

We got home just in time to watch the fireworks.  We can see them from our house which makes it nice.  We just put the girls in bed and enjoyed the nice evening.  We had a great 4th!!!
