4th of July

For the 4th of July we stuck with the same ole tradition, the Granite Parade then swimming. This year Anna sat on the float with Grandpa Moyes and the Moyes cousins. She loves being in the parade and throwing out candy.

The Romero/Whipperman's wanted in on the fun too so they came up with their own float.

Patrick was Willy Wonka

Ezra is the real life Charley,

but didn't want on the float.

Then on to more enjoyable things, swimming.

Having Sawyer and Ryder here, Anna gets braver and jumped off the waterfall and the 8 foot rock wall.


Going down the slide was also a first for her this time.

One of the cutest little guys around, Ezra loves to swim as well.

4th of July

On the 4th of July we did what we always do, went to the Granite Parade. This year Grandpa Neil drove all the grand kids on the float that Grandma decorated. They had a great time. Anna was more interested in eating the candy than throwing it. Shaun finally convinced her to throw it once they were half way through the parade.

After the parade we went swimming. Shaun had asked Anna if she wanted to jump off the diving board and she said no. Then she found out Ryder was going to do it so she quickly changed her mind. After a couple of jumps she yelled "hey everybody watch me!" she surprised us all by doing a front flip. I didn't catch the flip on film but I did get Shaun's look of surprise and excitement when she did it.

**These are videos of her doing her flips, jump and a dive**

When she did her flip Shaun said it was his proudest moment as a father, even more so then her first time on skis. No one had told her to do it, she did it all on her own and surprised us all. I love to watch her swim, she puts her head in the water and wiggles it back and forth while kicking her legs. It's super cute, I can't believe how long she can hold her breath.
