Lake Powell

Lake Powell, what more can you say.  It is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL, place.  We camped on a beach, and despite the giant ant hill we invaded, it wasn't all that bad.  Anthony got us a bigger tent, a better air mattress, and a fan, yep a fan and it worked lovely.  Ryann loved playing in the water, sleeping in a tent, and going on adventures.  She got pretty brave when we would go out swimming, especially with a fun noodle.  

 

 

The red can is V8 juice, one morning Ryann and I got up and walked over to a rock that looked over the lake, and Ryann enjoyed her morning juice, and then it started raining so we went back to the tent.  It did rain off and on Tuesday.  

 

Playing with fire.

4th of July

(Ryann with her hand on her heart, as the American Flag went by.)

This year we spent my favorite holiday, in one of the best places around, Sevier Couny (particularly Aurora).  We started the day out by taking Ryann to the Richfield parade, lucky us we have connection, and had an excellent spot saved for us, Thanks Maradee!.  Ryann loved watching the parade, hearing the LOUD sirens, and picking up the candy.  Ryann did have a hard time understanding why some of the floats that went by didn't through her any candy, she would come and "Tell on them". I would have to tell her that not every float can throw candy, it worked and she was over it until the next time.   I think most of all Ryann enjoyed being with her cousins, especially her Gracy.

 

Ryann loves this girl!!

 

 After the parade, Anthony and I took her over to the Salina, for their festivities.  Ryann was super excited, she went on the bouncy house, did the obstacle course, threw a bing bang (and got a prize), and stood inside of a bubble.  

 

We then went and had a picnic and swim party at Papa and Granny's.  After that we went to the Salina parade with the Sampson clan, and had a BBQ with them after.  As far as fireworks go, well it consisted of Ry and I watching them from Granny's living room window, with Ryann off an on requesting to go to bed.  Not sure why, but the girl is not fond of the fireworks.

It was an AWESOME 4TH OF JULY!!!
