Fire and water






Hope you all had a great fourth! We went to the parade with my sister Wendy and her family in the morning. The parade was okay... I was expecting a lot more out of it, not very many floats, mostly cars and promotional stuff. I was comparing it to the St. Patrick's day parade that we went to earlier this year and it was awesome. The kids had fun. Than we came home and waited for dad to get off work and we went to Johns dad country club and went swimming and had a BBQ and camped out there to watch the fireworks. They always have a great fireworks show! Wendy and her family came to watch them with us. I was kinda bummed thinking this was going to be her last fourth with us here!
Poor Elaina she was freaked out by the fireworks! When they started to go off she started screaming and tried to crawl over the fence, she wanted to home. The other 5 kids were also screaming they LOVED the fireworks! Last night they also came over and we had our own fireworks show and once again Elaina was far away fro the scene. She was trying to get into her car to go home! Hopefully she likes them next year.
At the pool Madison jumped off the high dive. She told us she wanted to do it and we figured she would get up there and look down and turn around and come down. Nope she got up there looked down and jumped! Then she did it again. They were definately beat after the day of fun and being up late for the "works".

Great Pictures Stacy!
My Madison has always been afraid of fireworks like Elaina. Even now at 6 she is very gaurded about them and hid behind everyone this year when we did our fireworks at home. When she was littler she would stand at the window and watch from inside the house!
Good for Madison jumping off the high dive! I still can't get Izzak my 12 year old to do that.

Glad you guys had a great day. Ours was a little different from the usual. But, we had fun.

I'm bummed about Wendy moving too...
