Vernal Trip and 4th of July

We all decided to go to Vernal over the 4th of July to see my mom's side of the family. And it was a blast! It was Kaden's first trip to Vernal and he LOVED it. Everyone gave him tons of attention, rocked him to sleep everytime, he never had to take naps, and was busy doing fun things every second (it was hard to adjust to just the two of us staying home again.) We went to a parade, a rodeo, and boating. All of which Kaden loved. Of course the guys were all excited to take their guns and do some skeet shooting and prairie dog hunting, a Vernal tradition.































The 4th of July was so fun! We went to the Vernal parade in the morning. Mom and dad went and saved us great seats and we were able to back the truck right up to the road, which allowed for stadium seating! The kids got tons of candy and we all had a great time.































Kaden slept through the first little bit but then really enjoyed it once he woke up and saw everything going on. Dad brought a huge umbrella for him so he wouldn't get a sunburn and he thoroughly enjoyed the shade and entertainment.
















Next we went to visit my great grandma Lois and have lunch with her. Mom, dad, my aunt Brooke, and I went to Wendy's to order lunch for our big group, it was the largest order they had ever had! All the people working there were laughing and said they had never had so much food in one order ever before. We were also able to take a 5 generation picture. There was kaden, his mom, his grandma, his great grandma LaRae, and his great-great grandma Lois! He is such a lucky kid!









Everyone had lots of fun socializing and playing baseball in the yard outside. Grandma Lois loved Kaden, and he was such a good boy, he kept smiling at her and talking.




















Later that night we went back to my grandma LaRae's house and had a great dinner and had fun talking and being together. Kaden loved his Vernal trip, we look forward to many more fun times with our family and for the great memories he will make there. He couldn't get enough of his Aunt Brooke and Cousin Lindsy. What a blessed boy he is to have so many people that love him. We can't wait to go back to Vernal.
