4th of July

This past weekend we celebrated 4th of July in Palm Springs with my parents. Bekka and Nic came out with us and we had such a good time. My parents recently bought a Wii. I would never classify myself as a gamer or even someone who can operate a video game system, but Wii is SO MUCH FUN. We played bowling, tennis, boxing, bowling and golf. My parents also have the Wii Fit with the yoga mat.
With Wii fit you have to do a body fitness test. It weighs you, calculates your BMI and checks your balance/speed. After this is all done it calculates your age. My Wii age was 27, Brian's Wii age was 46, and my Mom's was 78!
My arm and back muscles were so sore after playing all weekend. Yes, I know that sounds pathetic.

Bekka, my Dad, my Mom and I all got massages, the boys played 18 holes of golf, and they also entered into a putting competition. My Dad ended up winning a Nike putter and Brian and Nic won glass mugs with golf balls.

On the 4th a bunch of my parents friends came over and we just swam, ate good food and made smores on the fire pit. There was a little accident though... Someones FLAMING marshmallow slipped off their roasting stick right on top of my foot. Being the biggest baby in the entire world I screamed and rubbed it off on the grass and then stuck my foot in the pool. Other than that we had an wonderful 4th of July.

I am really excited about this picture. I propped Savannah up by just leaning against the couch, but she was able to stand for quite a long time.
On the 4th Savannah tried bananas for the first time. We added into her oatmeal cereal. We tried it in a mess bag the next day. Yesterday she tried Sweet Potatoes and really liked it.

Hey Kelly! This is Summer, Bekka's sister-in-law. I wanted to say 'hello' and introduce myself (via blog world). Thank you for posting about your 4th of July trip. It's good to see pics of Nic and Bekka (apparently my sister-in-law is on a blog hiatus) : )
Savannah is adorable! I love her All American Girl picture- her little face just says 'yea, I'm cute and I know it'. Sounds like you had a great time. Have a good day!
