This year, I got to go up and spend an entire week with my family and friends up there. Even though it was a struggle getting up there, (aka, my AC in my car went out) It was a blast! We went to the rodeo this year and I thought that it was a very good one. Needless to say, I also LOVE going to rodeo's. I tend to find to cowboys rather attractive so of course I love going to them. I guess you can say that that's my country side shining through!
The next morning was the actual 24th of July so we got up and went to the parade. I got to go sit out on the road with Kaden so that he could catch the candy. That little boy is so stinkin' cute despite his attitude he's got! He really can be such the sweetest, cutest little boy out there! It was fun watching him wave to the fire trucks and having him tell me all about the tractors.
After the parade, I took Kaden and all of the cousins and we went and got some lunch in the park and then met up with my parents at Canyon view park. I guess that Kaden decided that it was hot and that he needed to go for a swim! Since it was rather hot that day, I decided that I would take Kaden and all the cousins to the swimming pool for the afternoon. It sounded like a great idea at first, then I realized what I was getting myself into.
Sweet little Kaden has a fear of water and freaking out if he can't touch. I can't blame him though, I have the same problem. So him and I stayed at the front of the pool and played in the shallow end while the rest of the boys went and did their own thing. It turned out to be a really fun day and I really enjoyed it.
That night, they were having fireworks in the park. Tyler, Cooper, and I went to the baseball fields to watch them. While we were waiting for them to start, we got into a very intense game of spoons. Yes, spoons can be dangerous! A few people were smacked, but overall, no one was injured! It was so much fun though!
The next day I just spent it at home hanging out with my family. Later on in the after noon, we ended up out by my dad's shop shooting BB guns. Kaden was giving it a shot with his gun and it was so cute to watch him! He even ended up hitting an apple off. Amazingly though, he ended up shooting at the same time I did, but he the apple off. ;) he was so proud that we just let him believe him. I mean, who can argue with a 4 year old?
Also while I was up there, My cousins, Tyler and Cooper, as well as little Kaden, went swimming a lot. I loved going with them! It was seriously a blast! Kaden was so cute and such a sweet little boy. It makes me miss home so much! I just wish that things would work out better and that I could move back home and be closer to all of my family. Hopefully, the next year will go by quickly and I can get back up there! hopefully soon!
Anywho, sorry this was such a long post! There was just a little bit that I had to catch up on!
Driving up with no air conditioning, what a fun drive!
