4th of July FuN!


I love the 4th of July! This year was busy. Brandon had to work, so the kids and I waited for him to come home and then we headed out to the parade. I was a little disappointed this year, but the kids had fun and of course, got plenty of candy!

After the parade, we went over to Grandma Iris' house for a 'Surprise' (that's what the kids were told) she had bought them each a cap gun. Grandma has learned that she must get the grandkids all the same thing, even for 'Princess Ashtyn', she doesn't want to be left out. If the boys' get swords, she better get one too, so yes, she also got a gun! We lit up the fire pit and made some yummy Smores! Skyler decided we should probably have a smarshmallow tester, so he would pull a smarshmallow out of the bag and take a little bite out of all of them and then set it on the table to be roasted.

Our final stop was Colby & Amanda's. Lots of swimming, a yummy BBQ, some basketball and what would the 4th of July be without the fireworks show!
