4th of July

We had such a fun 4th of July. It started out at 6:45 over at the school. They had a flag raising ceremony and a community breakfast. We left the kids in bed to sleep and Ryan and I went over for it. It was fun to visit with everyone that was there.

After breakfast, we went home and got the kids up and headed into town for the parade. We met a bunch of friends there so we could all sit together. It was fun to watch the kids play and enjoy the parade.

After the parade, we ran home and got food and headed down to my parents house for a Smith Family BBQ. I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures there. We had some dutchoven chicken and potatoes and lots of salads, Aunt Carolyn's rolls and lots of desserts. We were stuffed, but had lots of fun visiting with family.

We headed home later in the afternoon to start getting ready for the bbq we were having at our house that night. We did hotdogs and bbq and had salads. Right as people were showing up for dinner, we had a downpour so we moved everything into the garage to eat. Luckily it didn't last long and we were able to head outside and visit and the kids ran and played. I didn't get many pictures that night either. I was too busy hosting. We ended up with around 45 people here that night. We had a 2 hour fireworks show and everyone went home completely exhausted.



It was such a great day!
