July 4th 2010

It can NOT be the fourth of July already? Where is this year going? We of course spent our day at my Mom's house and walked up to the Gratis event. They held it on the 3rd this year since the fourst was on a Sunday. Parker enjoyed riding the ponies, twice, but the part that was most impressive to me was that he FINALLY enjoyed the bouncy houses. He was always too scared to get in them before, but this time he hung right with the big boys and even climbed up ladders and went down the big slides.

See, pushing the big kids out of the way.

Look at those disgusting feet!!

Second time around!

Me, Vayda and Jessie

After the HOUR long fireworks show, we headed home, with balloons in tow :)

On Sunday, the fourth of July, we spend the day at home with some sparklers. It's not easy to make a two year old understand the theor of "hold the fire AWAY from your body".

Once it got dark, we sat on the back of Steven's truck and watched the fireworks that our neighbors were setting off.
