Fourth of July 2008

Alex playing in the water at
the Middleton parade

We had a fun time on the Fourth of July. We went to a parade in Middleton with Tom, Megan, & Carter. We stood near the fire station and firefighters had hooked up hoses to the fire hydrants and were spraying the crowd. It was chaos as lots of kids (and many adults) ran through the water. Alex loved it and got soaking wet! Ryan chose not to venture out into the crazy crowd. Nick sat unhappily in his stroller as it was close to naptime. Later, we had a barbeque and lit off a few fireworks. We watched lots of "big" fireworks from the neighbors around us. The highlight at our house was sparklers! It was fun. It is always good to be reminded of how lucky we are to live in this country. God bless America!
