4th of July 2014

We had such a wonderful 4th of July weekend. The morning of we participated in my parent's neighborhood 4th of July Bike Parade. Children decorate their bikes and ride through the neighborhood. Nana jazzed up Christian's bike while the rest of us walked. After that we attended the Highlands Ranch festival with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Kim, and cousins Linden, Shepherd, and Hudson. It was hot! and we waited quite a long time for Linden and Christian to get their faces painted. C loved his super cool shark! We then attended a BBQ at my Aunt and Uncle's home in Monument. THEN- we did some small fireworks in the street which was really the first firework experience for both Christian and Lucas. They loved them! Lucas kept saying, "Mo (more) Fire!" We had put the boys "to bed" only to get them out half an hour later because we had an awesome view of the Highlands Ranch fireworks in my parent's backyard. On Saturday we saw my brother and his family again- for dinner, fun at the pool, and Papa purchased more fireworks because the kids just loved them so much. So thankful and very blessed to spend time with our family in Colorado, and more importantly for our freedom and those who have sacrificed for it!
