4th of July

The 4th of July was GREAT!! We started the day by going to the Murray parade at 8:00 a.m. We got to cheer on our friends (Yeah Ryan, Christa, Bobie, Sheena, Steph, Rachel, Angie, and Amy!!) in the 5K race and then we got to enjoy the fun parade. My kids loved it and walked away with a TON of candy! Then we went to Murray Park and did the little carnival. It was very crowded so we didn't stay long. Then we went to Artic Circle for lunch and all the guys made their annual trip over to Savers where Todd bought the most hideous tie I think I have ever seen. Then it was off to Sharon's for water fun. The kids had a blast!! Then we had a big BBQ which was YUMMY! We had some down time and Hannah learned to Hula Hoop. She is a natural! Olivia found some friends that she dragged all over the place (Angie and Alazae). And of course we did fireworks. Zachary is now officially a pyro! Troy took him under his wing and let him light all of the fireworks. He was LOVING every minute of it--matter of fact, he started taking a bow after the really cool ones! At 9:55 p.m. we walked over to the high school where we saw the big fireworks. It was a busy but VERY fun day!
