4th of July

Yay! Summer finally arrived. The weather was gorgeous which made 4th of July this year good no matter what! We participated in the Happy Valley parade for this first time this year. There were a ton of people, so it was really fun to see the community so involved. They had family floats, kids on go-karts, and bikes and wagons all decorated for the 4th. The entire festival is free. They have a ton of bounce houses and slides for the little one's, pony rides, games and tons of stuff for older kids too. The splash pad was going on, there was music and food, a beer garden and a great fireworks display at night. I was really impressed with the whole set up! We would have stayed down there longer, but the kids needed a nap. When they woke up we headed down to my parents house for a BBQ and fireworks. They're almost finished with their backyard remodel and it looks amazing! Their neighbors also came over with their little guy Jackson, so the kids had fun playing.

It took so long for my camera to take the picture in the dark, Ashley lost her smile.
