Happy 4th of July

GOD BLESS AMERICA

This year we went to a huge park with our friends the Stephens.  We met there around 5pm and brought a picnic dinner, soccer balls, footballs, kites, fireworks, and an attitute ready to have fun!!!  It doesn't get dark here until around 10pm so we had FIVE hours of great fun!!  We went to this park because it was near another park that charged to get in the gates (they put on a HUGE firework display), and it ended up we weren't able to see the fireworks very good (they were right over the trees), but we had so much fun we didn't even care!!!  Josh and Arron put on a great show for us!!!

What's 4th of July without watermelon (with a little dirt on it?)

Josh had the kite and was running to get it up and the kids were all running after him saying, "I want to hold it!!!"

The boys flying kites

Garrett LOVED the Roman Candles

Haylee was SO tired!!

Haylee didn't enjoy doing the fireworks very much!

Haylee and Grant watching all the fireworks

Julie HATES shooting off fireworks but her husband Arron always makes her do at least one every year, this was here stance!!!

Garrett did not like the sparkler very much.  He thought it was going to burn him...he didn't cry while holding it, he was just whining the entire time, and then when it was all done, he looked up with a huge smile and said, "It's ALL DONE!!!!!"

The boys having TOO MUCH fun!!!
