4th of July

We had a great day on Sat by going to Riverdale where I grew up and to celebrate the 4th of July and see all those friends you never see except for that one day a year. We went to the parade in the morning then up to the park for a carnival. After a little lunch Curt had to head into work but later that evening my family came over for some hotdogs and Smores on the fire. This is MAdi trying to stick one of those new gigantic marshmellows into her mouth. My cute brother and his cute wife at the parade, sorry Shalise the sun was right in your face.

Later that night we went back up to Riverdale park and watched there fireworks. This is our friends Shannon and Zach. The fireworks were great this year besides the fact we had debris landing on us from a bunch of the fireworks. I think Kaycee got pegged one time pretty good.

Nate, Karly and Brevyn. It was Brevyn's first 4th and he was a good boy the whole day!

The gang hanging out around the fire and visiting while we waited for it to be time to go to fireworks.

Me and my sisters(and Brev) at the parade.

Brayden was able to be in the parade this year and he threw out a good amount of candy our way

The cousins sitting together before the parade started except for lil Ellie, she hadn't made it there yet.

On Friday the Policeman and the Fireman played in there annual softball game but Curt didn't play because he has a torn muscle in his back but we went and watched and stuck around for the great BBQ they put on after for all the families. While we were there they started setting up a inflatable movie screen at the park so my kids talked me into staying to watch " monsters vs. Aliens" It was Riverdales first movie in the park and it ended up being really fun. It started about 9:30 and my kids enjoyed it alot. They also had a little raffle before it started with a bunch of fun prizes that different Riverdale stores had donated and I was one of the lucky winners. They called out my number and I won.... $75dollars to Walmart. So worth staying haha

Curt and CAsey. One of Curts great friends, Curt was the best cheerleader that night for his buddies, maybe next year you guys will win!!
