Fourth of July Fun

The celebration of the freedom we enjoy in America is something we do well out here!! I love the patriotism displayed and the honor given to military, as well as the fun activities and celebrations that are planned by the city. We take full advantage! This year, we spent most of the 4th recovering from a sleepless night as we sat in the ER with our baby (she is much better now, thank the Lord) ... however, the city held all celebrations on the 5th so we didn't have to miss out!! In addition, we had Jim's family out from CA, and it was so fun to enjoy all the festivities together!

the baby is here too!!


a little too young to ride in the parade, Trent enjoyed riding his decorated trike at home

Off to the Family Fest to enjoy music, magicians, jugglers, stilt walkers, fire trucks, games, food and fireworks.



Kaden was so excited to get called up on stage to help the magician!!
"Hi Mom!"
