JULY FOURTH FUN

This year the fourth was spread over 3 days.  It was great, Ian had extra days off, and we got to spend the whole weekend in vacation mode.  Laura, JD and the girls even came down. And stayed a night at our house.  The kids had a blast.  The night of the 2nd we started some fireworks for the kids before we headed off to the Stadium of Fire with Laura and JD.  Its so much fun to watch the kids Kadrynn was trying to stay as far away as possible and Schaefer couldnt get close enough..to some of them anyway.

Macy is always so cute, She couldnt join in the fun but she makes her own.

Kadrynn didnt like holding these at all.  She would grab it and then throw it on the ground.  Melynn however wanted to play with the sparks.

They all ended up sitting on the grass at the end watching Ian light off the last of them.

We headed over to the Stadium of fire with Laura, JD had to be there early because he was marching in it.  And this picture is from our seats.  Yeah, probably the worse seats in the place, but hey they were free.  JD was pretty upset because he thought we would be on the lower 50 yard line. 

All the areas of military were represented here and JD was one of the marines that marched.

Its just too bad we had a horrible view and couldnt make him out.  But he is the one of the front lower corner.

Then the show started.  CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!  She is so great, I loved the whole thing and I could sing to most of it too so that was fun.  But again the seats were not for viewing, every now and them she would walk out infront like this and we could see here, but most the time we watched the screen.

Here we are happy to be alive!! :)
