4th of July.....

We normally just stay home and catch a Bee's baseball game but this year we headed up to Preston for the 4th. It was great because everybody was in town and we were able to spend time with everybody. It doesn't happen often enough so it was fun to catch up and see everyone!

We got up and went to the Lewiston 4th of July parade. It started off breezy and cool but right before parade time it got hot. We got a great seat and the kids were ready. Shouting for candy to be thrown to them is always the best part. Christian just stands and waves, we clap, we shout, hoot and holler. 

 All the cute girly girls!

 Trying to stay cool

                                   

In the afternoon, the kids to a dip in the pool to cool off and Christian took a much needed nap!





 Later in the evening, the girls surprised us with a little 4th of July program. The 3 girls did a little song and dance number. Julia loved this and said her favorite part was when Ella and Hailey picked her up. Then the boys also joined in to help in a little parade and then we all said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the Star Spangled Banner. A group then headed back to Lewiston for the fireworks. Julia was again excited to go and be with Ella and Hailey. She said she had so much fun. Layne and I were to tired to wrestle with Christian for the night so we stayed home. But it was a great day spent with family!
