it started off with a trip down to Moroni to party with our friends the Lemons. of course on the way down we stopped in Provo for the opening of Justin's 30 strangers project, which was AMAZING.
when we got to Moroni, we set up our tent in Ben's parents yard and oooooh man, you have never seen a happier little boy than our max!! he had never slept in a tent before and thought it was the COOLEST thing ever. he thought we were really camping (in our defense, even though it was someone's back yard, it really is the middle of nowhere and they live on a little farm) and kept asking where his hot dog was. it was the cutest!
settling in for the night- one of the best parts of the whole thing for max was the flash light!
p.s. props to ME for sleeping in a tent at 34 weeks preggers!
we also woke up at 6:15 to the sound of CANNONS going off. max was dead asleep and jumped up and said "WHAT was DAT??!" we died laughing!
Danny ran a 5k in the morning and Max stood and waited (just like this with his hands behind his back) at the finish line for him to finish. he was soooo proud of Daddy!
as Danny approached the finish line we yelled and cheered and Danny smiled and waved at Max, but apparently, Max was expecting to be picked up and carried across the finish line like he was at the dam relay in rexburg. he was heartbroken! Danny had to come back and pick him up and run across the finish line... again. =)
of course after the race and pancake breakfast we hit the parade! max loved gathering his candy and prizes, including this little airplane that dropped ping pong balls.
eating salt water taffy. what is it with parades and salt water taffy? does anyone even like that stuff? max does.
after a kids carnival in the afternoon, we headed home to do fireworks in our little cul de sac with our neighbors and watch the Oakridge fire works. it's the best!
and of course, nothing beats sparklers. =)

ReplyDeleteSo fun!
ReplyDeleteMAJOR props to you indeed for doing the tent thing at 34 weeks! OUCH! I am late-night-peeing WAY too much to sleep anywhere other than 4 feet from a bathroom at this point!
Thanks for the heads up on the Ashlee Raubach photo being posted! I have been checking all the time just DYING to get a little sneak peek - so I about had a fit when I got your comment!
We should definitely talk about the hypno stuff. I had to be induced with Kort and still had an AMAZING experience, so induction doesn't have to be the end of the road. In fact, I'm a little apprehensive about the idea of doing it pitocin free this time because last time was so great and fast, I worry about what it might be like under different circumstances!
Yes we definitely need to talk Sand Point ... woot woot!! That sounds so fun again. I'm sure I'll see you this week for the new baby and/or Jon's wedding. Let's talk SOON!!! Also good luck with this little girl .... we are so excited for you guys!
