4th of July

For the 4th this year we did the traditional parade by my mom's house. Jaxson and uncle Colby rode in the hot rod and Uncle Derek and Gabe rode on Derek's dirt bike. As always, the parade was a lot of fun! After the parade we went on a hike up Bell Canyon, the boys thought it was a blast and it was a beautiful hike. When we got back to my mom's house the kids played in their blow up pool and ran around spraying everyone with squirt guns, they would laugh hysterically every time they snuck up on one of us and sprayed us. After we had some yummy dinner and dessert we went back outside to take turns riding in the hot rod and on the prowler. This was the first time I had ever ridden in the hot rod, Colby took me on a ride and it was a blast! Although I think I swallowed several bugs on our journey. When it was dark we went to my mom's neighbors and lit fireworks...A lot of fireworks! The second we put the kids in the car that night, they were sound asleep. They had such a big fun day! Unfortunately the battery in my camera died halfway through the parade so I didn't get to take very many pictures that day, not very good planning on my part which isn't surprising.
