July 4th-Independence Day Celebration

We had an eventful day for the 4th. Joey's sister and brother were visiting for the weekend, so we made the best of it. We started out with a parade, went to the park, ate lunch at McDonald's, went swimming, took a nap, played with bubbles, went bug searching, playing in a field, and then watched fireworks. We were all so tired when the day was over with. Good thing the next day was Sunday-a good day for resting.

We liked this awesome looking outfit this old man was wearing in the parade.

Our niece and nephews holding 2 Boxer puppies while we waited for the parade to start.


Everyone getting situated and not paying attention to the camera.


We tried to take a group picture before the parade started, but the sun was right in our faces.
Oh well, we tried!


Many of the floats had people either throwing water balloons or squirting water guns. A float was going passed us and we are all entering the "danger zone."


"Egging" on the squirters.


Getting wet from the water guns.


That was fun for us!
