We started the day off with the parade, then went to Grandpa Billy and Grandma Susie's to ride the go-cart, had lunch where we always do - at the Thomas's - had fun shooting guns with Grandpa, Lucas got to jump on the trampoline, Via took a nap in the car while we went to the Drive-In for shakes and while Lucas jumped on the bouncy houses and slide, later there was Malad's Got Talent of course, and then we finished off the day with fireworks! Whoo! It was a very busy day! Via was just so tired by the time we got to the fireworks she didn't stop screaming until 15 min after we got on the road to head home. I don't think she was scared because she loved the ones we saw while waiting for the big show; she was just way past exhausted, poor girl. She had lots of fun earlier in the day, though, I promise! I think it was pretty evident from the way her shirt ended up ;)
This is how the shirts started out around 8 am...
At the parade
Via looking for candy
The bow untied... and wouldn't stay tied
They got popsicles :)
Digging in!
Lucas's first time shooting a gun
Not interested in shooting - Via was just gearing up to ride the go-cart!
And for our awkward part of the day... Levi has a camelback water thing that he and the kids were drinking out of all day. The mouthpiece falls right at Levi's nipple, so he had a blast "nursing" the kids ;)
"Rescuing" cousin Emma... she got all the way up there before anyone realized!
And this is how Via's shirt ended up... we lost the "star" bow somewhere around shooting guns
Not quite as dirty, but lost his star as well
Sno-cones...
... and cotton candy!
We are so grateful we live in such a great country where we are free to do all these fun things! We are also very grateful for jobs that close on the 4th of July ;) Thank you to all those who have fought to keep this country free! I hope everyone had a great holiday with family and friends!
hahaha that is hilarious about the camel back I totally cracked up!!
