On July 4th we went to see our town's parade, with floats of all kinds. I love living in a country town, they have tractors and 18-wheeler logging trucks. The boys love the free candy they throw in the streets. We also got to see Granny and Papa (my In-laws) too, they had a spot in the parade with their church handing our flyers and candy to the crowd. It was a perfect sunny day for the parade.
Next, we headed home and blew up the swimming pool for the kids, and rode the motorcycle and 4-wheeler in the front yard, waiting for the sun to go down!
We had some friends over for dinner and fireworks(Steve, Jan, and Travis). We ate good food and had good conversation too! We topped it off with brownies and root beer floats! Mmmmm.....
Jonathan LOVES fireworks, therefore we shot them off for 2 hours straight! (That's 4 people lighting them off, pretty much nonstop) The big boys can't get enough of them either (reminds me of myself at that age, lighting off fireworks at the farm, good times). We had 2 fireworks (12 shots) fall over after the first shot and continued to shoot toward the house, garage, and people. It was a quite frightening (and two friends politely headed for home, lol!). We watched the show by campfire, it was a perfect evening, ending at midnight with some smores :)
The next afternoon, we headed south to return our furry friends to their original owner :( It was a mixed emotions kind of day. They had a few issues that were not quite disclosed when we picked them up, resulting in their return. All of that to say, for now, the dog days are currently over, lol!
The next blog post will conclude our week o' fun!
