The McKinlay Family: September 2011

Utah - 4th of July

Pirate Island - July 5

We went to Pirate Island. It's a pizza place with awesome decor and an arcade. We all had fun playing games and spending time together.

Yay for bread sticks!

I don't want to play on the zebra!

Much happier "playing" some arcade games.

The decor was my favorite part.

Our own little pirates.

After the parade we went and hung out at Jay's parents house. At some point all the kids passed out and had nap time. The rest of the time was spent hanging out and playing. That night we went to the Gauchay's house to do fireworks but unfortunately we didn't stay long. It started raining and we were all just miserable. The kids were so bummed but none of us were really enjoying it. We just headed back to our hotel and passed out for the night.

Me, Noah and Olivia spent some time playing outside. Imagine that, playing outside in the summertime and not dying from the heat and the blaring sun.

Between lack of sleep and the allergy medicine she had to take poor Zoey was passed out on the couch while we played.

After a long day and little sleep we all pretty much looked like this after getting back to the hotel room. It was a long, exhausting day but a lot of fun.

The Big Parade - July 4

After the big kids enjoyed a sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's house we met up early in the morning to grab our seats for the parade. There was a lot of sitting and chatting and just hanging out until the parade actually started. It was enjoyable though with so much family around. This was the kids 2nd time at the huge parade and they were so excited to be there again. Even active Olivia did super great considering how much time we spent there.
