The 4th!

Some of you may know this... the number of pictures I took over the 3-day, holiday weekend. 485. Yep. My camera might as well be attached to my body! But ya know what.... I got some good ones!!! So here ya go.... I will only post like half of them, don't worry! :)
{Lindon Pool~Saturday}
{Fireworks~Saturday Night}
{ "Beach" visit~Sunday afternoon}{Delta Parade and Park Day~Monday}
There were tons of little games and stuff for kids to do there. Jaxon won this frog-ball thing. He loves it! Another activity was a fish catch. Let me tell you again - I HATE FISH! But I knew he would love it. So I went in there with him. They filled a GIANT kiddie pool with water and fish. And in age groups, the kids got in the pool and tried to catch the fish. You catch it, you take it home kinda thing {Sick.}. Ok this was soooo chaotic first of all! I took Jaxon in the 3-4 year old group and so of course he was a little overwhelmed. He literally stood in the water the whole time watching those fish swim around his legs and stuff! {EWWWW} Meantime, Stef brought her friend (boyfriend??) who has 2 boys. They were scared of the fish and didn't want to touch them either. So Stef's friend decided he would just catch one for them. I took my sisters camera to document the moment of course. He did catch one... and I got some pretty cute pictures of them. AND THEN.... I reached down to help Jaxon out of the pool, and he slipped and fell. Well my instant reaction was to use both hands and pull him out... guess what fell into the water when I did that? My sisters 1 month old camera!!! AW!!! Worst moment EVER!!! Long story short, the camera is magically fine, the pictures of the crazy moment were saved and my sister still loves me!

{Delta Demolition Derby - Monday Night}
Jaxon LOVED the demolition derby... even though it got cold and windy! Joel and I had fun too! It's easy to forget there are people in there - you get so caught up in watching them OWN each other! At first Jaxon liked it, and was saying "beep, beep" "watch out" or "uh-oh..." But after a couple rounds he figured out that the point is for them to crash and tip over and stuff. Then he started saying "YEAH!!! CRASH!!" He would also help with the countdown... followed by "GO GO GO GO!!!" One of the rounds is more of a race, as soon as that one started he started asking "Where's Lightning?" Haha Not that kind of race, bud.
We ended up leaving before the fireworks.. it was just too cold, windy and the rain started. So we headed home.

And that was our weekend! I have noticed on my blog list, not many of you have updated about yours.. c'mon, I wanna see you fun things you guys did!
