4th of July
I love the fourth of July! There is just something about BBQs, family, swimming, and fireworks! When we first got up, we went to our church for a bike parade and breakfast! It was fun and the kids really enjoyed it! Then it was off to the festivities! This year, like the past 3 years since we moved here, we have gone to my parents house for the fourth. Their neighborhood has a TON of people and alot of those people set of illegal fireworks! I mean a ridiculous amount of fireworks! Im going to say it rivals the strip..no joke. And it goes on for hours! We set up all our chairs way before the sun went down and it went well past 11...at least thats when we left and people were still lighting them off! I love the fourth mainly because its one of the few times my whole family can get together..Mom and Dad, Grandma, All us 6 kids, 5 of us are married so thats 5 more men, AND 14 grandkids with the oldest ones being 7! Thats 28 people! And we are all at my moms house! It can get crazy at times, but we love it. My sister Stacey that lives in Texas is here with her 4 kids and My sister Heather is here from Hurricane with her 4! With so many people, we dont go many places, but luckily my mom has a great pool because we all basically live in it! Ill take pictures of all the kids so you can get a grasp on how many of us there are! Good times! Hope everyone had a great fourth like we did! (The kids made those tie dye shirts for the fourth! They didnt exactly turn out red white and blue, but the kids loved them and were proud that they did it themselves!)
