Graeagle July 1st-4th

We went on a little weekend vacation to Graeagle this year for the 4th of July weekend.
We got some rest (amazing) and spent some time with family.
It is always nice to get away and to see Mikenna's face when we go somewhere new. 
Mikenna spent most of her time painting, blowing bubbles, exploring, and of course getting into things she isn't supposed to. (Like the cool red bamboo sticks inside the house).

We saw fireworks Saturday night. Kenna loved them and kept requesting "more fireworks please!"
Sunday we got our 4th of July clothes on and got ready for the parade.
It was hot! But we still enjoyed every minute of it. 
Kenna clapped for the bands and sat patiently watching the entire parade while eating her lunch.

This year especially, I've realized why people love vacations so much.
Having a child you get so caught up in the day to day stuff, it's so nice to get away and just be able to enjoy eachother. I don't think I really understood this until Kenna came along.
(A little sappy? Yes... but it's true. Vacations this year have become a whole different experience for me. I love spending time with those two cute faces!)
