4th of July Weekend

4th of July this year was so great! Much better than last year (think hot dessert heat, pregnant, the cabin...need I say more). Dave had the whole weekend off and we loved every minute of it. Friday afternoon we headed up to Dave's family cabin in Oakley with Dave's parents, Mike and Traci, Ryan and Frances, and Carly and Tommy. We had KFC which I had not had in like ten years but I must say their grilled chicken is pretty tasty, then we headed off to the Rodeo. I was loaded up on Claritin (I am deathly allergic to horses and hay) so it was perfect! Elsie was so good considering it started at 8 which is her bed time. She took a nap on my lap which was amazing and then she woke up for the fireworks and she loved them! The next few days we just hung out at the cabin with baby Brooklyn, went on four-wheelers and walks, the Burbidges came up, Eric was home for the weekend and of course we ate, ate and ate, oh and Dave went shooting, of course.

It was the prefect weekend and exactly what we needed! We came home Monday morning and headed off to the pool. It was short-lived considering Miss Elsie girl was exhausted and the heat made everything a million time worse. But it was still fun to get out and do stuff with Dave.

Now here are a boat load of pictures of the weekend...

(I don't know if you can tell I only have one child and feel the need to document her every move)

When we were walking into the arena Elsie had her sunglasses on while in the bjorn, people were cracking up and she thought it was pretty funny

Elle is obessed with food lately. She wants to eat whatever I am drinking or eating and this weekend she decided it was Coke. Dave wanted to give her some...I said no

Her first piggie back ride...

I love this picture!!
