Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!

We started our day at the historic Fort Missoula with a yummy pancake breakfast!

Hayden could hardly sit still through breakfast. All he could focus on were the choo choo trains that were waiting for him!

Hayden loved talking to the train conductor. He could have stayed in there all day if I'd let him. It was fascinating!

There were lots of really neat tractors to see.

The red tractors are Hayden's favorite because his Grandad has a red tractor.

Hayden got to meet some nice firemen and they even let him sit in the fire truck!

We saw some renaissance reenactments. One guy came over to talk to us and let Hayden hold his rapier.
Hayden really liked checking out the sword.

After all the Fort Missoula excitement we headed on up the road for some more fun.

We decided to skip the rodeo this year and go cool off at the dam with my brothers Brinton and Nick.

Hayden got brave and went swimming on mommy's back. He's still a little afraid of the lake water. It's quite a bit different than those Texas swimming pools he's used to!

Getting warm in the sun!

Hayden soaked up the sun with his Uncle Brinton and Nick.

After nap time Hayden had lots of fun stomping on all his snappers, waiting for the sun to go down so we could pull out the big ones!

We finished the night off with some fireworks at my parents house.
I LOVE fireworks!!

This one looks like a palm tree!

Hope you all had a fun and safe 4th!
