the fourth

We headed down to the parade

on main street this year with muffins & orange juice in hand

Lucky for us it's only a block away & we can pretty much get up & go!

The weather was FANTAStic!!
A fourth of July- first- it wasn't burning hot!!!
It couldn't have been better- all day long - perfect.
The weather people say it's over- 90's all week.
It was GREat while it lasted.

Some people are not as cooperative as others in the morning,
if you get my drift?

Jack & who's that with the glow in the dark hair??

SETh

ya - he bleached it for the summer.

It's easy to spot him in the crowd - oh to be young again?

The parade starts off with 4 F-16's flying by-

fantastic!

There were floats

and my favorite marching band

Trent was picking up candy being thrown & sharing.

He doesn't really like candy.

Jack looks so tall in this photo-

I think I need to send it to his brother the missionary...

The missionary is about 5'9". He & Jack have been neck & neck their whole lives until... puberty hit Jack & he sky rocketed. Whenever I send pictures to the missionary he thinks jack MuSt be standing on his tippy toes... nope. He is going to be ticked off for sure when he gets home to see jack is over 6 ft. now- that is unless he has grown down there in Chile?

Kristy & Jake were in the parade!

Trent was looking for them the whole time.

After the parade we went to the carnival-- also just blocks away.

We ate pizza & shaved ice in the park- voted for our favorite quilt in the quilt show, saw some local entertainment, Trent toured a fire truck! Thanks fire man.

We went home, took naps, the company went shopping,

then we had a BBQ & fireworks.

I guess I was burned out tired on photos- I quit after the park.

It was a GREAT fourth!

Summer feels like it is finally here!
