4th of July

I love the 4th of July....What a great day to spend with our family and friends! This year we enjoyed a BBQ and Rigby's fireworks on the 3rd at our friends Ryan and Michelle's home. Fun times, great food, wonderful company, and I was pretty impressed with Rigbys show! Even better they live right on the lake, so we were hanging our in thier private backyard not fighting the public! Nice! :)
On Saturday the 4th we got up early, got all cute, and headed to the Parade, we sit at the begining and my kids get loaded up with candy, even some icecream this year! What fun is the parade if you don't get candy?! We went with most of my family, even my Dad this year! After the Parade we had a huge get together/BBQ at our house with all of our great friends! We ate great food, swam in the pool, there were a few water fights, played some volleyball, and just enjoyed the company! It was a wonderful day! We headed off to the fireworks where we parked our motorhome early in the day, that was the way to go! We had a great view, a place for the babies when needed, and we didn't have to fight traffic! The fireworks were super as always, and it was great to celebrate our independance and the freedoms that we are able to enjoy! I am so greatful to everyone who celebrated this day with us!
