July 24th

The 24th of July isn't only Pioneer Day here in Utah but it is also Monty's dad's birthday.  We had a great time with the Borrowman's that day.  We headed down in the afternoon and played in the water.  Uncle Sam had a fun time with Mia and taught her that the ghost says "Boo."  Seeing as Boo is one of her favorite words, it wasn't too difficult.

We also learned why swim diapers are a good thing.  We had one but Mia was in a huge hurry to get in the water so we decided to just let her get in.

 After she started mooning people we decided it was time for a diaper change.

Mia also got to see fireworks for the first time.  She absolutely loved it.

 She had lots of fun with the sparklers.

When we started lighting the other fireworks several of the kids ran to the deck to hide.  Not Mia. 

There were flowers that would explode when they finished but Mia didn't even flinch.  She would just say, “uh oh”. When the fountains would start she would go, “ooooo” and when they finished she would look at me and ask for more. She loved them. We didn't get home until 11 that night and she stayed awake the entire time.  It was a lot of fun.
