On the evening of the 3rd we went to Centerville Elementary and watched the fireworks show there. They always put on a decent show, but it's never quite the same as Davis High's show!
Check out this cheeser! What a cute little face he has.
Odin absolutely LOVES his Uncle Riley. He calls him "Ya-Ya" and it's the cutest thing in the world. PS-My husband is pretty handsome, if I do say so myself. But for real, look at that smile.
For the actual 4th we were able to attend the Centerville Parade. We sat on Riley's parents front lawn and watched all the fun floats and collected tons of candy (mainly taffy, but I love it so I'm not complaining).
This photo was my attempt to get a decent sibling shot. You can see how well that turned out. This was actually the best of the 2 dozen others that I took, if you can believe it :)
After the parade we made our way down to the carnival and ate some delicious snow cones. We also watched the police auction for a few minutes before heading back to set up the slip n slide.
We shared some special bonding moments....
After we had thoroughly exhausted ourselves running up and down the yard on the slide, we went home to clean up for the fireworks show. It's a tradition to go to Davis' show and have our special spot. We were disappointed this year to find that they had blocked off our "spot" because apparently they thought it was in a shrapnel zone or something. So...we had to find a different place to sit. It wasn't as awesome as in years past because we didn't get to sit as close, but it was still a good time!!
We drove the Wrangler to the fireworks, so of course we had a fun ride back home. These pictures were taken BEFORE we got mooned by some chubby kid at the light next to us...That was pretty awesome. I can't even imagine what our faces looked like AFTER that lovely event.
Needless to say we had a pretty eventful Fourth of July. It was packed full of food, family, friends, and lots of fun. We're so blessed to live in such an amazing FREE country.
