i LOVE the 4th!

I love the 4th of July. It reminds me of being a kid & growing up in Bunkerville. We always would go to the early morning breakfast and program and races! I loved it and it's so fun to keep these tradtitions and do the same things with my kids. We never quite make it to the breakfast... way too early for my kids, but they love the races. They always start practicing up a couple days before :) So, first was the flag ceremony and little program... and then the RACES!

Go Ashlyn Go!

Ashlyn won her race and got a necklace and a coupon for a free Happy Meal at Mcdonalds. Then it was Alley's turn......"ON YOUR MARK, GET SET.... GO!"

Alley and Hannah Linge tied for first.... they got their necklaces and a coupon to Mcdonalds...

Then the kids played on the Splash pad at the park & we enjoyed the Free Snow Cones and Cotton Candy. There was also a watermelon eating contest and egg toss and the Fire Truck sprayed the kids and the Para Gliders dropped bags of candy! So fun!

Alley Loves to do the Dunking Machine... last year she got in line and got dunked while I was watching the softball game.. I had no clue where she was and she came back and told me she was dunked.... :) she's too funny! I'm glad I didn't miss it this year...

and down she goes....

then she got in line to throw the ball to try and dunk somebody! She almost got it on the last try and then she just went up and pushed it!

We then went home and relaxed and took naps and later we had a BBQ & homemade Icecream at "Nana & PaPa" Shaner's, it was so yummy!!

Ammon watching daddy play softball ....Don't you love his outfit... "Future President"

Later we watched the Awesome fireworks and did a few of our own!

What a FUN DAY!
