4th of July

Happy 4th of July!

As always, we celebrated the day in Delta. The kids love it and Josh and I love that there is so much for the whole family to do all day. The girls were so cute dressed in their 4th of July outfits and were super excited about going to the parade.


And baby Liev just looked like a little man in his long shorts and Sperry shoes.


Everyone is waiting patiently for the parade to start and mainly waiting for all the candy!



Once the candy starting coming, it didn't stop. The girls got bagfuls of sweets!


My cousin Allison was Miss Liberty and she got to dress up like a "princess" and ride on a float in the parade.

While the little ones were fighting over the candy, all the oldies were just relaxing and having a good time.



Garrett and his friends thought they were hilarious and dared each other to find one float during the parade and jump on it while it was going. They each found a different one and actually did it... and it really was hilarious!


One of my favorite parts of the day is the derby that night. Rease went with us this year and, even though she had to cover her ears a couple times because it was so loud, she had fun being with the "grown ups."


Towards the end of the derby, it starts to rain on us. We didn't mind - we all cuddle closer together and tried to stay dry.

We had a fabulous day celebrating our nation's independence!
