Independence 2015

On the 4th of July, we had Kerry and Lana here as well as Brennon and Katie. It was great to see them even if just for a day and a half. We hosted breakfast for a few neighbors, and let the kids decorate their bikes and scooters for the neighborhood parade.

Ready to ride!

Kara and Evie both went with scooters instead of bikes. Kara had it pretty easy with her electric scooter.

Somehow Evie is always the last kid to finish.

They think it's pretty neat to check out the fire truck.

This year, only Evie was little enough to participate in the rubber ducky grab. The others had to dive for quarters in the big pool.

And she was super happy to get a "patriotic duck".

Ben made us a yummy dinner, and we went to the fireworks later that night. I guess I didn't take any pictures there, but you know, sometimes we get distracted by all the excitement.
