A happy 4th of July

We had a fun and busy 4th this year. We started off the day by me dragging the family to the Flagstaff parade. The boys loved it and we were so lucky it didn't rain, but only stayed for about half of it. We went straight to the cabin from the parade and had a really fun afternoon with the Ridings eating and playing water balloon games. When we got home we ended up heading over to a friends for a BBQ with a bunch of people and we had a great time...until Ty had to leave early with a naughty James. We were in bed by 9:00 instead of watching fireworks, but that was ok with us. It was a fun day to spend with the community, family and friends.

Trying to get all three to look at the camera is pretty impossible.

 This is the best we did.
 Waiting for the parade to start.
 Boys will be boys. My cousin, Cody, trying to jump his remote control car over all the other men lined up (Thatcher and James jumped on the pile last minute too).


 Balloon toss finalists.
 Whitney's invention of a game where everyone stands in a group together and Whitney throws a balloon in the air and sees if anyone gets hit.
 Playing "knock-the-cup-off-of-Kristi-and-Jed's-head" game. Thatcher was one of the only ones to get a clean hit. He knocked the cup off without getting Kristi. I was impressed.
 Claire with Hadley, and our beautiful tortellini salad Whit made.

 Getting cleaned up together after a crazy long day.
 Thatcher showing off his creation made from loot given to him at the parade.
