We had a good 4th. We caught some of the parade at the freedom festival and got some skimboarding in. Whitney loved the 10 min. of the parade that we caught. She saw all the city Royalties. When she asked me who they were I was too lazy to explain so I just said they were princesses - that more than satisfied her. From that moment on she watched thier every move. This is her practicing how to wave like them.
Like my stance? It's coming along.
Our neighbors, the Cooks, put together a little get together with family/friends for a b-bque and fireworks. This year has had the wierdest weather. Right before dinner it started getting rediculously windy. Since there were a ton of people we moved the party to our basement. Yep, that's right we ate our 4th of July bbque in the dungeon. It was really fun though, and let me tell you, the Cooks cooked up some amazing meat!! I'm still dreaming about it. Despite the wind we were still able to sneak in some volleyball and fireworks. While talking during dinner I was reminded of how lucky we are to live here. We have a great home, in a great neighborhood, with amazing neighbors. I love being able to talk to fun adults while I watch my kids play outside. And Whitney loves that she pretty much always has someone to play with everytime she goes outside. To her, the more kids the better. My favorite part of every fourth though is the fireworks. Every time I light fireworks I have flashback to my childhood (including Jeff lighting my hair on fire!). I always wanted to be rich around that time of the year so I could buy tons of fireworks. What an ambition - to own lots of fireworks. All-in-all We had a good, kick-back relaxing fourth. I love our country.

Smelly that stance is looking beach ready
Your 4th sounded great. The wind was kind of weird. I thought we were in a tornado for a moment.
Sounds like you had a great 4th. Jeremy used to work at a firework stand when he was in high school and so he thinks he is the pro when it comes to fireworks. When we both hit it big, maybe you two can have your own stand. Just think...unlimited fireworks! :)
That picture of Aaron and Travis is great. Travis' smile is so cute!
