Fourth of July weekend has been busy. Poor Porter took his naps in backpacks, in his car seat, on the boat, at the Swimming Pool, and on Grandma's floor, so by the end of Saturday night, he was done. We had a great holiday though. We left bright and early Friday for a hike up to Three Lakes in Brighton. I don't know about the rest of you, but that 102 degree weather that was promised seemed to be MIA for us.
Although I felt overly prepared with my sunscreen, hat, sun glasses, bug spray, food, formula, snack, and everything else for Porter, I failed to remember one thing, socks. His poor little feet got a little cold up at the top. We headed down the canyon to Brunch at Sharon's Cafe. Next, we packed up and headed to the pool, which, by the way, Porter absolutely loves swimming! Finally, we ended up at my parents house for a BBQ and fireworks. Later that night Tom and a few others ventured over to Holladay City to see the fireworks. He said they were an impressive display and he felt they were almost too long. Our celebration didn't end there. The next morning, quite early, we headed up to Jordanelle to go boating. It was a bit cold, but we all enjoyed it except for Porter who still can't quite handle the life jacket. This was the first time I had a chance to Wakeboard since before I was pregnant, so I definitely enjoyed myself. We finally headed home to catch a nap before we headed out to dinner. It was a jam packed weekend and our poor little boy was exhausted, but it was a great 4th of July.

Happy First 4th Porter! The lakes look beautiful but I can see the snow still piled up around the edges--crazy! Your babe looks darling in the hiking backpack--what a trooper :)
Fun 4th of July! You are a great prepared Mom. we do need to get together soon.
I can totally see Tom in that last picture. Stop by some time so Porter can meet his future partner in crime. Speaking of which, my in-laws heard the Dibley/Miller story for the first time last weekend. They were entertained. Long live Trev Maloy.
I love jammed packed 4th of July weekends! Porter is such a handsome little boy and such a trooper all weekend. Where exactly are your townhouses and are they listed anywhere on the internet so we can check them out? Let me know cause I would love to know. We should for sure hang out when I get home.
Sounds like you guys had a fun 4th! Porter is so cute and lucky to have such a cute mom and dad! We need to go out again soon? Tell Tom to call Taylor!
Is he asleep in that one of him in the backpack on the ground? That is too CUTE! Looks like a fun time!
