4th of July

THe night before all of our kids were thowing up all through the night so none of us got much sleep. Unfortuantely Terry woke up with it so his favorite holiday was spent on the couch or the toilet. The rest of us started off the day at the park for a nice little tribute to the flag and then a nice breakfast.
The we drove over to Biggs for the Parade. Not the largest but pretty nice and the kids got candy. they watched from the curb and I watched from the car for a while until I fell asleep from the long night.






We all had a great BBQ at moms and swimming with family and the Roberts. No one else that was supposed to come came because of sickness (some theirs, some scared of ours).

We moved into the usual sparkler party before heading to Biggs for the real fireworks.


The kids enjoyed their glowsticks whilel we hung out on our sleeping bag waiting for the fireworks to begin.


We did drag Terry to these fireworks but he did appreciate all the mosquitoes. We had to opt out of the after party at Trevors because it was so late and Ter was still sick. They did save more stuff for us to do the next day at moms and it was great!

How fun Kalli! I love the picture of the whole family in front of the flags, it's so patriotic.

Everyone looks so cute in their 4th attire. I'm sad I had to miss another party. Cypress doesn't look too sure about that sparkler in her hand.
