#1 4th

The ultimate 4th of July would include:

Parade

Going to the Lake

BBQ

Fireworks

And we just happened to be so lucky to have that 4th of July this year! :)

(I only had my camera on me in the morning.)

Austin had a look of awe watching the firetrucks go by.

We did something this year I thought we'd never do...we set up blankets & chairs the day before the parade. Main street here was lined up with 100's of chairs...and I always thought it's kind of annoying and dumb that people do that--But hey, can't beat 'em, join 'em :D ..So we had a nice shady spot for the parade.

Fighter Jets, Firetrucks, and Helicopters; Oh my!...Austin loved it!

We went over to the inflated slides (the kid's Favorite!) they had set up before the parade to beat the crowds.

Leka can't just slide--she has to go extreme :)

Here's a Charlie Chaplin style video of them sliding:


And here's if they made inflatable sliding an olympic event:

God Bless the USA!!!
