After we got home from our trip we got Sophia ready to go to 5th grade camp. She was going with her best friend from Spring Lake (the one in brown) and was so excited about it!! She seemed to have a good time and came home in one piece so I guess it was a success!!
We missed her while we were gone and had to find ways to entertain ourselves. One of the days we did some fireworks painting.
And some lounging around apparently.
A couple of days later we celebrated the 4th of July!!
On Monday we got up bright and early to go see the balloons in Provo. Unfortunately it started to rain so none of them inflated while we were there. We've had years where they didn't go up in the air but this was the first year we went that they didn't even inflate!
Someone was ok with it though!
And we still saw Smokey.
After that we went to breakfast to make the most of the morning.
Then we came home and took some naps.
And pulled out the old Nintendo and played Mario. The kids loved it!!
Then we went for some treats at Sip'n Spot
And then headed to JD's house for fireworks. This guy thought he was pretty hilarious in Daddy's hat.
Hooray for cousins and fireworks!!
He was a little unsure of his first experience with fireworks but liked it in the end!!
Getting ready for the show!
We let them each pick a firework and they were pretty excited to see them let off!
Happy Birthday America!
2 days after the 4th we celebrated Mabel's birthday!!
It started with cinnamon roll cake and presents in the morning
And then we met friends at the splash pad. Lewis enjoyed his lunchable complete with an oreo inside.
They had fun at the splashpad despite these faces. And I can't believe I didn't get a better picture...
This picture was happy. She really did have a good time!! Maybe she was sad that it was time to go...
After the splash pad we headed up to meet Daddy at Boondocks!!
It was so fun. All the kids loved it!
The bumper boats were a big hit
as well as the mini golf. Once they eventually figured it out....
Doug and the older girls tried out the race track and had a pretty good time.
But I think they had the most fun in the arcades. Especially when they got to trade in the tickets for prizes!!
Lewis was pretty pleased with the dragon he picked.
After that we went and met Grandpa and Grandma Miller at Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. She got cotton candy lemonade which she was pretty excited about
and spaghetti (her favorite).
We came home and had some cupcakes and then went to bed. It's hard to believe this cute girl is already 6!!
