4th of July!

Boy the 4th was a busy day. Dan started off early at 6 am putting up flags around town with the Scouts. When Dan was done we had breakfast at the city park, and went to the Parade. The kids scored with a lot of candy; it is always a bonus to know the people in the parade because they spoil the kids with lots of candy. After the parade there were games at the park. The kids got money for competing in the the kid races. Dan competed in a wheel barrel race with a friend, where I heard they were not one of the first ones to finish :), as I was gone taking Harrison for a potty break. A friend of mine and I competed in the 3 legged race... we came in 3rd place, I was pretty happy about that. After the races there was a watermelon bust, we got to eat as much watermelon as we wanted, it was nice because it was so hot & sunny outside. The firemen had a fire hose money scramble. The fire truck sprayed water into the air and the firemen got their hoses and sprayed the kids while they tried to pick up money from the ground. They had different age groups so it wasn't too crazy. Daniel and Harrison paired together and Hudson and I paired together for their age group. We got soaked, Harrison ended up crying and Hudson couldn't figure out what in the world was going on and why he was getting sprayed with water. 

Hayden also ended up crying but made got some money before quitting. Hailey was a champ. She made the most money of all. After the water fun we went to the city pool and swam around for a bit. At 5 we went to a friends home and had a barbeque with a few other families. We had a good time hanging out and playing games with everyone. At 9pm we went to see the fireworks at the park. I was pretty impressed with the fireworks for being such a small town.  There were a lot of people there to watch and it was fun to visit with everyone. Sorry no pictures... I will have to do better next year.
