Mendon 24th Celebration

After the triathlon in Burly we drove to Mendon for their 24th of July celebration. We got there just in time for Hayes to be able to hold the bunnies and go on some rides. Then we all watched a baseball game and the famous Mendon fireworks. Every year Bracken talks about how great the Mendon fireworks are because they are so close ashes sometimes fall on you. They didn't dissapoint this year, there was one firework that was super low. I love small town celebrations especially when you have extended family there to enjoy it with you too.




Hayes loved the rabbits and kept on going back to them and wanting to hold different ones. Almost convinced me that we should get a pet but Bracken brought some sense back into me ; )It was nice to have cousin's Izen & Jate there to help Hayes wrestle his dad.












I thought this was so funny, Hayes is at the top of that huge line, they were all waiting (very patiently I might add) for him to SLOWLY climb up the stairs.
I thought he'd be scared to go down the huge slide but again he proved I'm a bigger wuss than him. He LOVED it!




Kamri chilled in her stroller. Luckily she likes her stroller and as long as it's moving she's happy. Hopefully the "as long as she's moving she's happy" won't apply when she starts crawling and walking.

fun to see. We're sad we keep missing these things. I can't believe Hayes on the slide. What a brave boy. Tell Bracken congrats on the triatholon. I've always been amazed at how my brothers can do anything just as soon as they decide to...physically, mentally, and spiritually.
