4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love watching the fireworks. We headed up to Star Valley and let the kids have some fun. Traditionally, Star Valley hosts a small town parade for the 4th. Grandpa Joe pulled all the grandkids through the parade in his tractor.


Brian sat in the back and launched tootsie rolls and unsuspecting onlookers. He beaned a few friends and relatives from his hometown.

After the parade we went to Aunt Helen's. Ever creative, she always has something fun to keep the kids occupied.

After painting rocks, the kids were given squirt guns. Can you guess what Brian is encouraging Blake to do? Yes, seconds later Blake squirted me with water. Luckily, no camera's were hurt during this photo shoot.
Unfortunately our weekend was cut short because Kyle wasn't feeling well. But we did have fireworks before we left. Getting a good picture of kids watching fireworks is a difficult task, one that is beyond my camera. So I'll just say the evenings festivities were very fun.
