Fourth of July

We started the 4th of July with a neighborhood parade.  Angela rode her scooter, while the rest of the kids rode in the back of Jim's trailer.  It started to sprinkle at the beginning of the parade route which meant we would have cooler weather for the parade.  After the parade, we talked with friends, ate watermelon and snow cones.  Josh and Danni found themselves in a water fight -they always do.

That evening, we were invited to a BBQ swim party at the Pyles. The Pyles have a huge pool and the kids really had a great time swimming.  Angela loved swimming so much that it was hard to get her out.  After the party, we lit our sparklers which turned out to be Morning Glory.  Josh headed over to a friends house to watch fireworks while Jim took Danni to see the big fireworks since she missed the ones in Mesa a few days ago.

These are NOT sparklers!!!

We had a great fourth of July and are grateful for the freedom we have in this country.  I'm grateful for those who fought to secure our Independence during the Revolutionary War.
