Happy Late 4th!

I've got to make this one quick because Rad is already telling me it's time to go. We had a really fun 4th! We started out the day in the parade. Grandpa Bob let us drive the '27 and it was SO much fun! Derrick and I loved it. Rad wasn't so excited about Grandpa's flames and backfires. It was so funny to watch people on the side of the road jump though. Derrick and I laughed our heads off. In this pic you can see how much fun Derrick is having and how much Rad did not like the noise.

After the parade we drove around looking for property and ended up in Moyie Springs where some of our Mud Bogging buddies were camping. Then we headed back to Grameri's for dinner and then headed out to Cocolalla for a great fireworks show. One of the big fireworks that shot out a bunch went crazy and started shooting our direction. Again, we laughed so hard. It was a good day.

It's been pretty warm this week. On Tuesday I took the kids swimming at the beach...



I have my 10 year high school reunion on Saturday. It will be fun to see a lot of old friends... after 10 years I guess they're getting to be old people too huh? :)
Then on Sunday we head out to visit some friends is Seattle. We are looking forward to a nice relaxing time there. Shayli will celebrate her 11th birthday while we are there and Rad 3 days later on the 22nd. They're growing so quick! Check back for birthday pictures in a week or so.
♥ to you all!
