4th of July pics!

Ben promised me he would blog our 4th of July weekend. I kept giving him a hard time that if he didn't do it quick, he would forget things. I guess his last entry was an attempt to prove me wrong (i.e. length and detail). Of course, by the time he was done writing his novel, he was too tired to post the pictures. So here they are.

One of the kids in the parade was making balloon animals. The boys hounded him to make these! I guess they felt like they needed better costumes for the parade! The March! The Prize! The Cousins!

The Inflatables! A few of them were turned into "water" rides.

The Rock Wall!

Not sure the name of this?!

Basket Swings?!

Bumper Boats!

Sophia mesmerized by fireworks!

The staging area for fireworks!

Want one?

The 2 Hour Parade!

Sophia trying to entertain herself during a 2 hour parade! Ugh!

One of the girls favorite pastimes, besides hanging out in a secret fort in the woods! The kids also enjoyed playing, Apples to Apples, Operation, and Trouble.

The result of one of the 3 rainstorms of the trip!
