Week of Fourth of July

We headed down to Utah for the Fourth of July this year and then stayed the week so I could go to Melanie's bridal shower.  It was a week filled with lots of fun and great memories.

As always we go to the Provo Parade and hang out, it's a different parade than the girls are used too because they usually get lots of candy and are right up front.  Because this is such a big parade and we always get there late we were in the back.  Luckily there are enough aunts and uncles around to keep them occupied and enjoying every second.

Later that afternoon the guys all go golfing and the girls usually go shopping.  Being pregnant I wasn't really up for walking the mall and dragging 3 kiddos along with me, so we set up the slip n' slide and let the kids get some of their energy out.  They had a blast!

One of the other days we decided to all go bowling.  Fatcats was a summer special we all bowled for $2 bucks each.  It was great and a lot of fun.

Kaitlyn decided she would try kicking the ball...surprisingly she got a strike!!

Alexis did quite well.  She loved being able to roll her own ball and watch it knock the pins down.

Taylor did awesome!!  

I think he got the highest score, I was quite impressed at how good of a bowler he is.

I bowled as well, I did pretty good except I couldn't bowl anything other than a 9. I think my bowling ball was cursed or something because no matter what I did it was always a 9, weird.  It might have been the fact that I had a belly in the way.  But it was still fun.  Brayden had fun just watching and hanging out.
