4th of July

This year as usual for the 3rd we went to the Firefighters Ball

Somehow I didnt take any pictures!???

We ate at the dinner

Chris and Todd (his dad) took advantage of the auction that was going on during dinner and stocked up on some firefighter memorabilia 

My bike won Best Stock in the motorcycle show this year 

We sat out on the lawn to watch the band play

Kennedy danced her lil butt off

There were fireworks that night and we were home by 1130

We had a long day and were beat!!

The next morning was the Willard Parade

Chris had to work so Kennedy and I headed down

There are always such cute floats and ideas

They hand out popsicles every year too 

My brother Kyle, his wife Karly and their two kids Kesleigh and Dominic sat with us

Mom had Parker too 

The adults spent more time picking up candy than the kids

they were happy once they got their popsicles

Kirk went after his wife with one of the handlines..

Didnt turn out too well for him

She came out into the parade and took the hose from him and got him wet

Kennedy and Parker both ran in the foot races this year

Both won in their age groups too

After the races Kennedy and I went home

She was worn out and grumpy!

Plus it was so hot outside

Chris was just getting home from work so we all took a nap ha!

He had to go back and do firework stuff and Kennedy went with her dad at 4pm so I headed over to Chad and Kandaces for a BBQ

Stayed there for a while eating yummy food then it was time to go meet Jana (Chris's step mom) to go watch fireworks with him and his dad

They were on firework patrol in a brush truck and had an area up on the top of the hill they had to watch

So we took lawn chairs up and watched the fireworks with them

They had to stay out on 'firework patrol' til about midnight

Jana and I went back to the house and hung out until the boys showed up

They had SEVERAL fires they had to put out that night

Poor guys were BEAT when they finally got home
