Happy 4th of July!

To celebrate we did what we always do... parade then fireworks!  This year, our new-ish friends - Chris, Angie and Landon - joined us in all the patriotic fun!  Here are all the boys at the parade!  It was so hot!  A bank set up a free sno-cone booth not far from our plot, so we each got one.  Totally not the best sno-cone, but SO quenching!
 Look at our sweet boys!!!
 Here comes the band!  We were also so excited to see Miss Audrey, Miss Amanda's sister, in the drill team!
 To boys favorite part of the parade were the Corvettes!  There were two different groups and each group had at least 30 cars.  They were really cool!
 After the parade, we walked over to the park for some more fun!
 Rylan LOVED the playground!  They had installed a lot more equipment and those three boys ran and ran and ran!
 Before leaving, we HAD to get balloon swords.  This year we got Navy swords instead of pirate swords!
 While in line for kettle corn (which was AWESOME!!!) I asked a nice looking gentleman to take our photo.  Turns out he was a City Councilman!  Our brush with famous-ness...
 After evening services at church, he headed over to the Hobby Lobby parking lot to watch the fireworks show.  Heather made the cutest (and DELICIOUS) patriotic strawberries!
 Jacob would sit and watch the show...
 but not Rylan!  He ran and ran and ran.  He would run to the edge of the field and try to catch the fireworks, then run back and repeat!  His hair was soaking wet!


 My favorite shot!  Jacob with the finale!  The show was really good!  Four or five times we thought it was the finale since the show got  so big!
 And Reid with the little boys.  He ran and played with them after the show while the parking lot cleared out.
 The mommas!  Kim, Angie and Heather
Happy 4th!
