To celebrate this year, we attended the annual Nelson family party at the cabin in Midway! We came a little late so we missed the parade, but McKenna got in on some of the games with Aunt Lara!
She was also very excited to swing...
... and "bouncing!"
Kisses for GF
A little photo opp...
That's better!
We had a delicious dinner with everyone and celebrated the July BD babies too. On our way home, we stopped to show Kenna the cows. Even though they were behind a fence, she was of course terrified and kept saying, "Buh-bye!"
Next, we went to my Aunt's house in the Holladay area for some steet fireworks and then watched the Sugarhouse Park firework show. I'm happy to report McKenna wasn't scared AT ALL! In fact, when we tried to cover her ears for the loud ones, she wouldn't let us.
Kenna's always so excited to see my sister Mickelle, who she lovingly calls, "Picko." Here she is giving "bones."
Most often, when we get around my Thompson cousins, McKenna has a little posse of kids following her around and, "taking care of" her. It's so cute to watch!
I don't think she minds the attention at all!
Here they are playing, "Ashes." You know, Ring Around the Rosies.
With my sister and brother (who died his hair dark brown) watching the Sugarhouse fireworks.
Sunday the 4th- Normal day at church. Then, a get together with Dan's parent's friends, and more street fireworks. They also had a trampoline McKenna spent most of the evening on.
Monday the 5th- Dan had work off. He went biking in the morning. My sister babysat and Dan and I went on a lunch and a movie DATE! We don't go see movies in the theater very often...more like never! We saw Toy Story 3 and loved it!
*It was a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We're always so grateful to be reminded of this wonderful promised land we live in with so many freedoms!

Wow. Jonathan looks... Kinda like a pirate. I love the picture of Kenna with her finger on her nose. Who has couches just like Grandma? And, I want belly pictures. That is all :)
Your blog is the only one I read that has regular photographs of GA's. ;) Looks like you guys are having a fun-filled summer. :)
And pretty much that entire helpful posse is my kids. So I guess you'd better move in next door so you can have help all the time! ;)
how fun!! Glad you guys got to go out:)
aww McKenna is so adorable! Great pictures!
