4th of July

We woke up pretty early that day, so we could go to the ward breakfast and ride horses, which I did! (At first I didn't know that they would have horses, so I dressed up in my pointy black shoes, which you can see on some pics below)

The line was long...


But it was SO worth it! :)



Just sitting in the saddle brought SO many memories from my childhood -- I used to ride horses every week, when I was like 12 and then stopped -- I got scared of the horse that went crazy, while I was sitting on him.
It was hard to get off and give the helmet to somebody else, so I'll try making an effort and go back to riding horses... :)


KJ got to ride it, too and I must say he was pretty good... :)


Olivier had a lot of fun, although he was pretty tired and cranky
(not on this picture, though)


Or that one... I guess, I didn't put any that he was crying on... :)


But he was really good with horses and got to pet one, which I thought was cool! :)


After breakfast we rode bikes, watched movies, talked to family and did all those little things that you usually do on the 4th of July!!! :)
So, of course, we couldn't just forget about FIREWORKS
that KJ was SO excited about!


Eventhough it was SUPER loud -- thanks to our next door neighbors -- and kind of late for Ollie, he found it pretty entertaining... :)


After fireworks Bry and I had some cake and then went straight to spa and swimming pool, where Kevin joined us, which was SUPER fun! :)
And today is kind of slower, although I managed to unpack all our clothes, cosmetics and stuff plus settle down in the guest bedroom, which is VERY good.
Also bry and I are going stroller hunt today, since Ollie has NO stroller! (we sold ours in Indiana, before the BIG MOVE, since it was HUGE). Hopefully we'll fing something we LOVE!!! :)
