The 4th and Aunt Brookie

Since Jason was gone for the 4th, i wasn't really planning on doing much of anything. (i know, i'm a terrible mom) Ogden does it's big celebrations for the 24th, so there wasn't a big parade or anything. And really, who want to take a 3 and 1 year old to see fireworks- and then take them to church the next morning by themselves?? not me.

BUT we got lucky! My little sister Brooke ended up calling me on friday, saying she was in town. So we went and got her, and she came and spent the night and next morning with us. we went to the treehouse, where i didn't take any pictures. But outside and all around dowtown Ogden, they have 75 painted horses that my boys LOVE!! so we looked a couple of those too while we were there.

Then, the morning of the 4th we went down to the airforce museum, which we had never been to before. The boys thought the planes were cool, brooke and i thought it was all interesting, but the best part was this tiny little activity room they have. Jared dressed up like a spaceman, and could have stayed and played FOREVER! he was just in pure heaven. There was a little old man there volunteering who wanted to make sure that the boys saw EVERYTHING they had to offer. I kept trying to leave, and he would pull something new out to show them. we definitely need to go back again another time!

Thanks again for coming to see us Brooke! we don't get to see you often, but we sure LOVE YOU!!!
