Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!! We started the day bright and early at 6:15. I had to run across the street to get a nice spot in the shade for the 4th of July. Could you believe there were already chairs set out. I thought I would be the 1st!! Is is wrong to move somebody's chairs. Can you believe I did that. I just moved them over a foot or two so we could be in the shade too. But it turned out to be the perfect temperature. It was kind of overcast so we were comfortable. The kids had fun watching the parade.

They would wave at all the people throwing candy hoping they would get more if they did that!! About 3/4 of the way through Savannah says to me, "I need to rest my arm is getting tired."

We had to make a rule this year that we would not eat any of the candy until we got home. Last year Savannah downed most of hers before the parade was over. I didn't think they would do it but they had some willpower!!

Waiting for the parade to start.

After the parade we just rested and got some housework done so we could go to a BBQ with friends and neighbors. We had a great time! Stan and Cami have a backyard full of animals that the kids just loved. They even got a free pony ride. Zach and Savannah loved it.
