Fire, Water and Ice Festival

I feel like I need to blog but it feels weird to blog without pictures! On Saturday, August 8th, we went to fire water and ice at the the Kearns pool. It is something that happens every year and it is so fun! All the pools are open all day, they have inflatable bouncehouses, and you can ice skate for 2 bucks! At night they have an awesome firework show! My mom decided that she would come up for awhile and brought Heather and her friend Nikki with her. Kenny had to work til 5, but he came up after. Brooke had so much fun! I had bought her a lifejacket to wear so I wouldnt have to hold her the whole time in the water, but it didnt work. She was latched! It was pretty windy that day, so it made it very chilly! Me and my mom decided to take Brooke to the indoor pool to swim. So much warmer in there! Later, we dried off and I got Brooke a wristband to go on the inflatable bounce houses and took her inside to the gym. They had little bounce houses for toddlers and a tee ball thing set up. She LOVED that! I think I might just get her one of those little tikes tee ball sets! she was pretty good at it! In the halls, they had a bunch of booths set up to buy things and my mom bought her and Kiya little sparkly wands for 50 cents! Brooke loved hers! Then I saw a booth with the ribbon hair bow clip things and had the lady make one to match Brookes favorite dress perfectly. It is so cute! I was looking at it when I got home and decided to try to make some. they turned out cute, but not as cute as that ladies! We swam more after that and rested a little (underneath a comforter that I was smart enough to bring) and then it was almost time for fireworks! We were sitting close to the band and practically all day Brooke was dancing her butt off! doing new and way cute dance moves that I had never seen her do before! We gathered all our stuff and headed to the van to be closer to the exit after fireworks were over. I am so glad that I did! I parked at Kearns High School and as soon as we got to the van, the fireworks started! We were in front of the school and the fireworks were set off right behind it in the football field! They were so close and so huge! They were right over our heads! Brooke was amazed at how big and beautiful they were! They had an awesome show and I think I would rather go there every year instead of Sugarhouse! No pictures because I had left my camera in Ashleys car.
