4TH OF JULY 2011

This year we decided to make shirts to wear for the 4th. Well that kept them busy for a little bit but then the day came and Mason didn't like his. But he had to aleast take a picture in it.

At the Parade waiting for our friends to come. Darren works of course so we always celebrate by ourselves. The parade starts a 9 am in Clarkdale.

Chase, Mason, Tomas, Patrick, Rory

We met Smokey the Bear. Chase again wanted nothing to do with him. I finally got him to stand next to Mason for the picture.

They had firetruck rides.....

It was supper hot! They also had carnival games to play and win prizes but I didn't get any photos. The kids really enjoyed it. We then went home and went to the Muphey's house to swim and eat lunch. That was nice but we got alittle sunburnt. Then later that night when Darren got off we got invited to the Shultz's for dinner and to watch the fireworks. While we were there it FINALLY rained. We had not gotten anything forever. It not only rained but down poured, hailed, and rained more. We were afraid there was going to be No Fireworks because of the rain. But the rain stopped just in time for the fireworks and then picked right back up shortly after the fireworks ended. Here are the kids playing in the rain.....




Time to watch the fireworks... My flash was a little bright....

This is how Chase watched them... Holding as tight as he could to Darren. He told us they scared him because they are too loud. But can't wait to see them again.

We had a nice 4th of July. Thanks to those who helped us enjoy the day. When we got home we noticed a board in our neighbors drive way and I just thought where did that come from. The next day I noticed it came from our house. The shutter from the top front of our house blew off and around our house to there drive way. We are just glad they weren't home when it happened so the was no damage to there cars.
