Happy 4th of July.

We had a great day. I love this holiday. The food is great, the weather is nice, sometimes to warm. The parade's, all the activities at the park are fun for the kids, Randy has the day off. And then the fireworks. Can't get much better than that! We started the day out early. 6 am in fact, so my sister and I could fit in our exercise. Then we all went to the West point parade. Which the kids love. I love these few pictures of all the kids waiting patiently on the side of the road. They could hear the parade, but not see it yet. The anticipation was getting to them bad.

My sister's and there families at the parade. Sorry Jami. Your family came and my camera was about dead. Thanks to Kobe. He likes to take pictures of random things.


After the parade we went to the West Point park. My kids loved it. There was so much to do. It was hard to keep track of everyone. We had kids going every which direction. Talk about CRAZY!!

After we spent much time at the park we went to Randy's brother's house and had a pool party. It was so nice to be able to cool off in the pool. We BBQ , played water volleyball and just hung out with everyone in the nice pool. I wish I had a picture, but once again My camera battery died. After the pool party we came home and were exhausted. We all took naps. It was nice. Then we got ready and headed up to the fireworks with my family and some friends. It has been our tradition to sit right next to the caution tape, front row. Sometimes we have to dodge all the ashes from the fireworks. It's awesome. We didn't get home until 11:30. Needless to say we were all tired. Good thing we had Saturday to recover..

This is a result from our pool party, plus the day before we had gone to the Roy Aquatic center. So Bennett got sunburn on top of a sunburn. His face was all swollen like a star trek character. I think he had too much Chlorine. I promise I put sunscreen on him. I think it was just so freaking hot that he didn't matter. He had to go all weekend without a shirt. I felt so bad.
