When 'the bucket' falls
Pool Princess
After the water park (and a nap), we went with the Lowry's to their pool. I guess we felt like we weren't 'pruned' up enough yet. That was fun and relaxing (I forgot my camera so no pics of that) then afterward we got cleaned up and went over to their house for a BBQ. It was scrumptious and I stuffed myself as usual. Next, we heard there was a 4th event going on at the Town Center, so we rushed over to check that out for a bit. There was a band playing, free kid games - the lines were horrendous- and a bounce house. Of course, it was packed with people, but we managed to find our way around. We planned to watch the fireworks on the hill by where the Lowry's live, so we took off at about 8:30 to get back and get our spot for the show. Kalli was SO excited to see the fireworks; all day she kept asking when we get to see them. We set up 'camp', on the road, and waited impatiently for the show to begin...

About 1/2 way through the fireworks, we could see on the other hill, not to far from us, a fire that had started. We couldn't see the flames, but the orange glow was bright and getting bigger. As a result, the fireworks were stopped and we waited and waited for them to begin again. No such luck, so we finally gave up and went home. Poor Kalli was jipped this year, at least she got to see some, right? After Kalli had been in bed for about 10 minutes, the firework show began again. Nate grabbed a groggy Kalli and we finished watching the fireworks in front of our house. It was not ideal, but at least we got to see the finale! Happy Fourth of July, we are lucky to live in such a great place!

I was actually wondering if you guys were near the fires. I hope they aren't too close! Kalli is such a mini you, i can't get over it. She is beautiful.
Hopefully next year your fireworks will be better!
the 4th was rad. if only I went with you guys to the carnival. next time, I'll be more on the ball.
fun times! i love the fireworks but it is so scary if they start fires....we don't want cali. to burn up again this year. glad you had a great fourth.
Looks like you guys had a GREAT 4th. Where are the pictures of you swimming :)??? I hope your trip to Utah is a good one!!
So bummer about the fireworks. Everyone told me that in Oceanside the marine layer was so bad that you couldn't see ANY fireworks!! We were in San Diego for a wedding, so we ended up at Mission Bay and were able to see a bunch. The ones over Sea World are the best by the way in case you want to head down there next year!
Sounds like a fun day! You all look so sunkissed and cute!!!
Sounds like your 4th was filled with fun and adventure! We are really looking forward to your visit to Utah! See you in a week and a half!
Sounds like such a fun day! Ladera Ranch's water park is insane! I bet Kalli loved it! You guys have the best family pics!
Um, I am still trying to get over the tick. I have to admit I don't have time to read the whole story, but I hope it wasn't there long. As for the firworks we went to Bear Lakes and it wasn't much to write home about!!!!
