Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday was the 4th of July and what a great day it was. I want to start this out by saying thank you to all the soldiers out there, both past and present, who allow us to be able to celebrate our nations birthday. If it wasn't for the We started the morning out by heading to Laural and watched the parade. I think that might have been the longest parade I have ever seen, but the kids loved it and ended up with so much candy. If we go next year we will have to make sure we bring a bag for the candy. After that we headed over to my Dad's house for a picnic lunch and the kids thought it would be a good idea to run in Dad's sprinklers. We stayed there for a bit just talking and having fun then on the way home my Mom called and invited us over. We got over there and she had water balloons and the pool ready for the kids, so in the suites they went. While the kids were doing that we decided to go get the kids some fireworks and skip the big mess in Laural later. It has been a long time sense I saw my kids on the 4th and it still makes me smile at how amazed they are by the fireworks. The kids and I had the most amazing day and to top it all off Dave got here late last night. Now I am sitting here listening to the birds sing, the sun is coming up all warm and sunny and I am thinking how lucky I am right now and how great life is. Here is a collection of the pictures I got yesterday, I hope you all had just as wonderful of a day as we did.
