Kara looked so cute in her hat!
Katie Pie just couldn't stay awake for the fireworks.Our little alarm clock went off at 5:00 am and so we started our fourth of July bright and early. SInce Jer and I were up we went with Mom, Ams, DJ and baby Kate to set up the big shade and chairs that would reserve our spot in front of Asia Gardens for the big parade in Show Low. We then headed down to the little Show Low park where Dad was making gravy for the biscuit and gravy breakfast. It was yummy! Next we got all the little ones dressed with the fourth of July bows Aunt Necia made and they all looked so patriotic. The best part of the parade was either the belly dancers, or the guy on the bobcat doing wheelies and tricks.( He must of had a lot of down time at work, but it was impressive!) Samara had 4 dum dum suckers, 1 bag of cookies, 1 ottter pop, some tootsie rolls and a box of nerds by the time we got home for lunch. I think she loves the fourth as much as her mom. She was so sticky and covered in candy drool. Oh and I forgot to mention the hot little red candy she spit out after she said "HOT Mommy Hot! "After naps we went to visit Grandpa Pew and I think he loved the big slice of jello cake I left him. Then we headed down to Aunt Ginna's and Uncle Farrell's for a yummy BBQ, a sweet game of volley ball and some spectacular fire works. ( my favorite) I don't think I can wait a whole year for another super fun volley ball game. Our team rocked!! Chase, Jer, Caden, Brenda, Me, and Trevor. Go Team!! I love and am so thankful for the blessing of freedom we have in this wonderful country. I always get chills when the flag goes by during the parade and everyone stands and puts their hand over their heart taking a moment to remember what it stands for. We are so lucky to be able to worship and celebrate how we want. I am so grateful for all who have fought for our country and I love the patriotism I feel when I am in a small town to celebrate this great day. It is my favorite Holiday!
