Vacation and Happy 4th!

Happy July 4th Everyone! We just returned from a trip to Salt Lake and we had a great time. It really made us miss bigger cities and all they offer, like better food options and even aquariums! At the aquarium in Sandy Utah, I think Josh had more fun explaining all of the classifications of the various occupants in the place than many of the other kids had just from being there. Ada was able to touch a sting ray and then we got her one from the gift shop which she held much of the way home. We were also able to go to get seafood, which we have been craving for so long it was very sad for us to have gone so long without it. We decided to try Joes' Crab Shack, and I was saying many a silent prayer that it would live up to our expectations...and it did! Although, Ada was not too fond of any of the food we tried to get her to eat there...so enjoy our pictures and videos and hope ya'll had a happy 4th!

Looks like fun! That's great that you guys snuck in one last vacation before Preston makes family trips even more exciting...;) Ada is adorable as usual - I love the water wings!

That last picture is really cute! I do like the bigger cities have to offer but love living in a small town.
