Independance Day!

For the 4th of July (Actually the 5th) we invited my parents to wake up before the sun and come down for the Hot Air Balloon Races. As we were walking to the field we heard the Star Wars theme song playing and we saw this huge Darth Vader balloon rising. It was awesome. By the time we got over there, this was all that was left of the balloon.... there was a "gust" of wind and we got there just in time to see all the balloons fall to the ground and packed up in 2 minutes flat. Oh well, maybe next year...

We then went to enjoy a pancake breakfast!!

Hadley was thrilled to have a ride on Grandma's sholders!

Boston insisted on bringing our little flags to wave during the parade. To cute.

As you can see, it was early in the morning. Jeremy and I weren't quite awake yet...

Surprisingly we found a fabulous spot for the parade! (This is one of those parade you are supposed to sleep over to get a good spot...)

I love watching my children learn to put there hand over their heart as they watch the flag go by. We love AMERICA!!!
Some of our parade favorites were the motor cops, massive amount of storm troopers, marching bands (Hadley's fav), huge balloon characters, and army tanks. We also loved the awesome fly over with 5 jets! AWESOME!

After the parade we took my parents to one of my favorite burger restaurants. JCW's. There is nothing better then their Bacon Blue Burger. SO YUMMY!!!

Then we went to see
We all loved it! Although Hadley was crazy wild, and then finally fell asleep. (Lesson Learned: Don't take Hadley to the movie during nap time. )

We spent the night doing a few sparklers and yard work.

It was a GREAT day!
