Celebrating Freedom!

We had a great July 4th weekend and compared to last year, when I spent the whole day in bed, this year was really a great one! I din't even have any headaches!! Friday night we went over to the school and set a blanket down and enjoyed watching the fireworks show as a family. I can't remember the last time we did fireworks as a family, it was really fun. It was Kyler's first time seeing them. He kept calling them "Hot Wheels" fireworks..it was really cute. So that was what we did on Friday night.

Saturday morning Scott started the day by helping at Centerville City's Pancake Breakfast. We brought our family over to enjoy some breakfast with our friends the Williams. We had a fun time eating together and it was great not having to cook breakfast!

Afterwards we were lucky enough to find a good spot to watch the parade together. As it turned out the kids spent the whole parade standing in the street catching candy but I did get a few photos of them from before the excitement started. It was fun to go the parade as a family...we haven't done a July 4th parade in 3 years this was really memorable! Here's Kaylie and Lyndi...
