We started off the holiday weekend on Friday the 3rd. We went with my parents, brother and his family, and some friends (Gina and Brian) to Wild Water and enjoyed a LONG day at the water park. We wanted to stay for the Fireworks show, but after 10 hours at the park, we were so tired that we all left before it started. Then Saturday my ward had a pancake Breakfast. We were debating if we could get out of bed at 7 am , but Trent woke both me and Bailey up to go(although it was not a great idea and she was cranky most the morning). I think the reason Trent wanted to go is because he helped me make HOMEMADE strawberry syrup the day before, and I think he wanted to see how it tasted! The breakfast was kind of a let down and not much fun. What I have noticed in our new ward, is that it is super friendly on Sunday, but at ward activities, most people stick to themselves. I know, we should have gone out and talked to people, but in some wards you don't have to make that effort. People are so frienldy that EVERYONE sits together and chats. So after sitting by ourselves for 20 minutes we left and headed to Madera. We then went to a swim party that some friends invited us to, then to my parents for a small Fireworks show for Bailey (Which she was scared of and started crying) Then yesterday was church and luckily I did not have sharing time, so it was a bit more relaxing than most Sundays!) So all in all it was a pretty busy, hectic weekend, and I am ready to resume my normal schedule and hopefully sneak in a nap today!
Here's Bailey checking out the Goods!!!!

Oliver was scared of the fireworks too. He kept covering his ears and saying, "I think it's time we go in and rest"
About the ward thing. I don't think I have ever been in a ward like the one in Madera. I always compare other wards to that so I am usually let down. I love 4th of July Bailey's outfit!
what a fun weekend! what a bummer about the new ward, hopefully that will change!!! that can make it hard, i know!
that bailey is so fun to hear about too!
you see... you were missing a VERY important piece to the WARD puzzle... THE BIRDS!! Haha! Like you said, get up off your butt and get to know all the people... it's hard in a ward with young families and old grandparents to make friendships... the old people are just old, and the youngies are running all over taking care of their kids... her's hopeing next time you go and you have fun!!
