Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July!! Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so the picture amount is quite small!! We left early and made it to Chads parents' house at 7:00 a.m. We helped get ready for their annual breakfast which had Chad cooking eggs and the girls chasing the kids around. The food was great, and it is always fun to help. After breakfast, and my small nap, we sat outside, and played and talked. The kids had a great time jumping on the trampoline and swinging. After lunch we got out our "redneck" slip and slide (it consisted of a big white tarp, a sprinkler and ski polls as anchors). We had a great time. Claire was very brave, and went crazy on it. I did it, but was so scared of hurting myself, I didn't put much into it. Chad was so funny to watch, and by the end Chad and his brother were attempting different tricks. After dinner we headed back to our house. We had intended to watch the city fireworks with some friends, but Claire was so tired, that she went straight to bed, so we went across the street and watched our friends shoot off a few, and then attempted to watch the fireworks from our backyard. We could see most of them, but there were just a few to many trees in the way. We had a wonderful 4th of July - Happy Birthday America!!
