Home Town 4th of July

Lots of friends and family came to visit....



the picture above looked a little empty...........Then I found all the big kids

Our home town parade is all about showing off the fire trucks.




LOVING the candy


Sharing a bite to eat and catching up.


I love this picture of Jessica.



Our parade always starts with a fly by. The funny part is one of the mom's was telling her kids "no you can't have your candy bags yet" then the Coast Guard flew over and all my kids bags were like kites....They all had to chase them around. Then Melonie Just smiled at me ;)




Crazy we have been friends forever and this is the very first picture of the two of us with our other best friend.



Kids and Candy who could ask for anything more.




lots of chit-chat for Matthew and Samantha



After the Parade we head down the street to the park. Every year they set up a little carnival. It cost this year which was a surprise, but it was only .25 cents a ride. So you can't beat that.


Matthew on the bucking bull.
Poor Samantha she was so scared to go, and the guy was not very nice to the girls. He liked to flip them over the thing.Sorry Samantha I hope your finger is OK ;(
Thomas gave it a try.



Waiting for all the little ones.

Matthew wanted to give it another try at the bull

Samantha and Matthew on the bungee run.

NEXT Velcro wall.



Goofy boy.

Watching the little kids ride the swings.
We ended our night watching the fire works at a friends house. It was a fun day.





I hope you had a GREAT 4th.......We did.

Great pics!!!! Those ones of Sam and Matthew are adorable! Who would have thought 15 or 16 years ago they would grow up and still be friends???? Funny, it kind of looks like a first date!! ;)
