4th of July

Here are all the photos from the 4th. I wasn't able to upload them sooner since we left for AZ on the 5th. Lately I've been a little camera happy so I took like a million pictures. Here ya go!

We started the day with a parade, not watching it, but being in it. The girls were SO excited! They were telling everyone they came in contact with. It was really cute. But we did have to start the day really early, like I was up at 4 am and had to get the girlies up by 5 am.

This is most of the walking crew.

We let each girl pick who they would be in the parade.



Jasamine and Aladdin. Yes it was pretty much a Disney parade.

Hailey was a beautiful fairy.

So was Splashey

Addy was Dorthy

These are her ruby slippers

Kaitlyn wanted to be a parrott. Iago from Aladdin, but they only had an orange outfit. It worked.

All the villians in the parade. I looked the best though.

After zee parade. The girls were pretty tired.

Poor Splash! You can't tell in this photo but she is having a nasty allergic reaction. We rode in someones truck for a few minutes and they own a dog, well, she doesn't do so well around dogs. But she was a trooper during the parade! Ash was the ONLY one who walked the entire route 2 1/2 miles! She was even hit by the VW bus. That was pretty funny. Don't worry she was totally fine!

I had to wear heals as part of my costume. This is what my poor foot looked like. It still hasn't healed all the way.

It's almost time for the FIREWORKS! Yes, I'm way too cheap to pay for actual tickets to go into the stadium and besides I love our seats outside.

My family!

We finally had my dad's Father's day present finished! I'm never on time.

It was a 12x12 memory book.

Hitting the booths. The Jonas Brother's posters were a MUST have. Too bad they didn't survive.

Fishing for neclaces.

Finally we'd had enough of the booths.

The Jonas Brother's. yay.

It was time to go have a picnic with Stew's dad. Naturally we had to pass all the fireworks on our way. You can kind of see them if you look really close.

Addison, Kaitlyn McRae, Hailey, Kaitlyn Kuhne, & Ashley

The fly over was a bit loud.....

Debbie and Kaitlyn

Not sure what they are looking at, but I'm sure it was good.

Yes this photo is from the inside of a bathroom. The door was broken and people were walking in on us so Ash was our door guard.

Still waiting for the fireworks to start.......

We took a bunch of sparklers and shared them with about 15 other kids. It felt like 40 kids. Stew was having fun though. He loves lighting things on fire.

We also shared the glow sticks. I think we had about 50.

Rob and Ash

Watching the 'snakes' or as my kids call them the growing poopies.

Addy's glow rings!

Hailey was so cold. Really she is just crazy and cute. It wasn't that cold. But what ever. She looks dang cute all wrapped up like an Eskimo. And the day is finally finished!
