Vacation: LOGAN, UT...4TH OF JULY.BEAR LAKE.TAYAS BAPTISM

We took the fam on a LOOONNNGGG road trip to Logan, UT for our niece Taya's baptism.  Her baptism fell at the perfect time.. 4th of July weekend so we got to spend some extra days there! We rolled into Logan Wednesday night around 12:30 and got to stay till Sunday morning... it was such a fun long weekend.  We barely ever saw the kids.. they were usually outside chasing chickens or filling up water balloons.  The kids LOVE their cousins... we don't get to see them much but when we do they make it worth it!
 
We started off the vacation with the 4th of July Parade.. Logan's parade is sweet! They throw a ton of  candy, water bottles, otter pops...
 



The horses still make this guy nervous

 
And then there's this guy... he can't get enough of the action!
 
 
That night we watched the Logan fireworks on the lawn of their church.. they did tractor pull rides for the kids and had a bunch of goodies... this year the kids could care less about the fireworks.  All they needed were some glow sticks so make them happy! (oh and if Parx looks like he's on drugs he woke up with pink eye.. eye was totally gooped shut and super puffy)




 
They did get into the sparklers though however... glow sticks weren't cool enough to top those!
 
 
 Bridger thought you were just supposed to blow them out.. freaked us out when he put that thing right next to his mouth! And with his blow skills that would have never happened!!
 
Day 2... BEAR LAKE! We left for Bear Lake around 830 am and got home around 6 or something. It was AWESOME... The best part is that the kids can seriously walk like 100 yards out and the water is only as deep to their belly buttons.  They played and played and played ALL DAY and loved every minute.  Ty and I loved it equally as much :)








 
Seriously, check out Parx WAY out there... the water is only to his knees!


This poor guy had double pink eye at this point and tried to catch a wasp nest... bad idea! He got stung in the cheek 3 times... the bug catching king didn't know what hit him!
 
Day 3... TAYAS BAPTISM.. THE MAIN EVENT! She was so pretty in her white dress and it was such a special day.. we are so grateful we could be there to celebrate with her!

 
Day 4.. ROAD TRIP ALL THE WAY TO MOSES LAKE... Took us 11 hours with our detours.  We stopped to see Vance and Jill Dill in Paul, ID on our way back... a much need reunion. WE LOVE THEM! Then we stopped in Boise to pick some things up I needed for camping... we got to Moses Lake at 10:30 pm and by the time we unpacked from that trip it was 11 and then we had to get the boys and me all packed to leave for camping the next morning... so it was a late night for us!
 
WORLD'S BEST ROADTRIPPERS... POOPED AFTER A LONG VACATION OF FUN!
