The 24th of July ended up being a crazy, busy day… but it was tons of fun!

After breakfast Bridget and I headed out with Lee Ann to try and gather a few more photos for our ward directory.

At 10:30 we went to story time.

At 11:00 we headed up to the Logan City parade (started at noon) with Emily and Mandee and their kids. It was pretty hot out there, but the kids all had a great time playing in the gutter and catching candy. My favorite were the floats that threw popsicles – what a great way to beat the heat!

After the parade, around 1:00, we came home for lunch.

At 2:00 a friend of mine brought her little girl over for her 6 month old pictures. In spirit of the holiday, we decided to do some with the American Flag. Look how cute! Bridget had fun making faces for her, trying to get her to smile.

Around 3:30 Bridget went down for her nap.

When she woke up we headed to the grocery store to grab a few items and picked up a “hot ‘n ready” pizza on the way home.

At 6:30 we had ate our pizza dinner then headed to DuPont to pick up Dave.

The 3 of us went to the 7:20 showing of Wall-E. Which we LOVED! Bridget had a bit of a rough time sitting still through the whole thing (and a hard time yelling things like “Look its Wall-E” or “That man fell down” whenever a scene in the show caught her attention) though. I don’t think she is quite old enough for regular movie theater attendance.

After the show we dropped Dave back off and work and Bridget and I headed to the Logan City fireworks. Bridget was a little disappointed that I didn’t bring snacks (since Grandma Ernstrom had all kinds of snacks for fireworks on the 4th) but she mostly got over it when the show started. I let her open the shutter on my camera with the remote a few times – I think she had fun with that too! Here are a couple of pictures of the fireworks we took – not the best seat in the house. I was hoping to get Bridget’s silhouette watching the fireworks, but the dang kid wouldn’t participate – she just wanted to sit on my lap. I’ll get it one of these years. lol.

By the time we got home Bridget was already asleep. It was a long day! But oh so fun!
