Independence Day!!!

This year we celebrated the 4th of July small town style. I miss going up to Lynden to spend the fourth with my family but with the kids work and practice schedules and Bobs summer time craziness it just doesn't usually work to leave town so we try to make the best of it. We started the day by going to the Prosser 4th of July parade which is basically made up of kids who decorate their bikes. It's very cute!

Brandi babysat the day before for the Blairs and so she helped Luke & Aiden decorate their wagon for the parade

Afterwards we headed down to the park for some games...Tyler and Aiden were a little competitive at the gunnysack races!

Kendra started out great but then her gracefulness just got the best of her:)

Our plan was to go enjoy the fireworks at the stadium that night but that didn't work out so well. When they do the city fireworks display they have to have a firetruck on standby....unfortunately there were so many other wildfires going on that day that there was not a firefighter to spare so the fireworks had to be postponed until the next night.
