What a GREAT holiday weekend we had!

Our holiday started a day early on July 3rd, as Kenny and the kids went to Hebron to be in the parade with Aunt Danah and her boys. They were there representing her business, Greener Pastures, riding horses. Here is my dad Dan all gussed up for the event riding Sarah.



Here they are in the parade, Danah and Dad are towards the back.



Here is a closer shot of Aunt Danah riding Jackson.



Most of the kids were in the back of Danah's vet truck, ready to throw out candy in the parade.



Parker was in the gator with Kenny. They were trailing behind everyone in the parade on "poop patrol" cleaning up behind the horses. Parker was getting cheers everytime he cleaned up.



Afterwards, we headed out to Danah's to play the rest of the day in her new pool. Then we came back on the fourth to celebrate the holiday at Danah's big get-together, then we came back AGAIN on Monday. Whew!



The entire weekend had absolutely beautiful weather. The sun was shining, and it was simply gorgeous outside. The kids had on their new patriotic suits!





The kids wore Kenny out. They were having him toss them up in the air to flip and splash into the water. Parker got some great "hang time" here.



Delaney kept flipping completely over into the water.



Connor was the lightest, so he could really get up there.



Kyle had a blast, asking again and again to be thrown up in the air.


Great Grandma Imogene and my mom watched from the front porch, as the kids were going crazy in the pool.



Taggert even had his own "fourth of july" handkerchief for the festivities.



And there was soooooo much yummy food!!! I think we all ate way too much, but it was definitely good. Danah even made a special cake for the party.



The last couple of nights, we watched an awesome firework display orchestrated by Kenny and Scott. It was crazy how many there were, but they were definitely beautiful!



The fourth went by way too fast. But I'm sure the kids and I will be hanging out at the pool as much as we can the rest of the summer.
