The 4th of July

This year for the 4th of July we spent the day with Chase's family. We started our day by taking Bryson to the Parade and Kara came along. It was Bryson's first parade, and he loved it. All he had to do was sit and people would put candy in his lap. He thought that it was pretty great.




After the parade we headed up to Scout Mountain for a picnic with the family. After we ate lunch we took Bryson on a short little walk to a little creek that he could put his feet in and throw rocks. At first he didn't want to put his feet in but after he got used to the water he loved it, and it took a lot of convincing to get him out. Bryson also really enjoyed throwing rocks into the water with Chase. We then loaded Bryson up in his pack pack as he likes to call it, so we could go on a nice hike. About five minutes into the hike we were all getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, so we decided we better pack up and head back down to town.

We then hung out at Chase's parents until it was time to watch the fireworks from the fairgrounds from the backyard. Once the fireworks were done we did a few of our own. Bryson loved the snaps we bought for him. He was not as big of a fan of the sparklers because we would not let him hold them on his own. After all of our fireworks were gone, we waited another hour or so for traffic to calm down so we could get off of Chase's parents hill without being stuck in traffic.
