More Monday's need to be like This!

One thing that is a definite truth about our family is that we are not morning people. Just take a look a Addie, by the look on her face you would think that it was 6 am not after 9. To say the least it took a little while for Addie to warm up to the idea of being a the parade at 9 o'clock in the morning. Luckily we weren't the ones that had to get up an scout out a good spot! Thank goodness, we were barely making it there in time to see it start let alone getting there early!

Okay, family pretend that we showered, smell like roses and love each other early in the morning!

Once the parade was more than half way over Addie decided to perk up and enjoy all the floats and paradeness. I am not for certain but I am beginning to think that Bert has become a half way through kind of a gal. She seemed to be grumpy for half of most of our weekend activities!

Take this kid to the park and wash all that grumpiness off! While Mark and Emilee decided to take a hike in the canyon we thought we would be a little less physical and go to the park again.

This time we were prepared put Addie in her swimsuit and let her loose!

After a little splashing we graduated to jumping! Good thing there were not any lifeguards or park patrol to keep us in line.

As if the park wasn't enough to wear a kid out. She managed to find the energy to get Grandma on the tramp for a little jump jump action.

Now look at that face, is that kid trouble or what. She should be a zombie but no, she just keeps on goin'.

Once it was dark Addie decided that it was time for another fireworks show. When one person says what a minute, just take the firework to someone else! Maybe Aunt Emilee will get the show started?

The fireworks were prepped, the group gathered and the hose running (just in case). We were ready for the show. Uncle Mark, Uncle Scott's apprentice, since Scott decided to go to Lake Powell this year, ran our firework show! Maybe next year Mark will be ready for his very own blow torch.

A true lady never goes anywhere with out her purse. You just never know when you might need it.

It is a good thing that pictures don't capture smells. Maybe that is why Addie wouldn't look up?

You know it has been a good 4th of July when you just can't seem to look at another fire cracker!

Addie sure knows comfort! When you are too tired to pull the blanket out of the basket, it has been a good day!
