We had another great Fourth of July. It was our first holiday without Grandpa Great and we missed him so much, but it was great spending time with everyone else. The parade was fun and as usual, the kids got a ton of candy. Tayden and Scott were throwing elbows, Cache and Kyle shared their space just fine, and Beckett annexed himself off and shamelessly yelled at the candy throwers, "Bet you can't hit me!!" to bait them into throwing more.
We had a fun afternoon and Grandma and Grandpa Packards house. We played Left, Center, Right and Tayden walked the winner with 40ish dollars.
We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Mennears house on the way home. We completely spaced bringing swimming suits, so the boys swam all evening in their underwear. It was the perfect Fourth of July evening and a core memory I hope to never forget since they wouldn't let me take any pictures.
The plan was to go to the firework show, but we were all spent when we finally made it home. We set up in our front yard and watched the huge neighborhood fireworks. We also discovered that we could see the city fireworks through our trees. They were small, but there.
The fourth of July is my favorite holiday. I love the fun without the fuss. I love spending the day with family in warm weather. I love our country and I love celebrating it.
