4th of July (better late than never!)

Don't ya just love summer and the 4th of July?? We started the day out with the Evergreen Parade, of course! The kids decorated their bikes and rode the route. Sophie was the life of the party waving like a princess (elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, wrist) to all the people watching and yelling, "Hi!"





After the parade we got a last minute invite to go up to Kent and Celeste's house in Midway. All of their kids were in town so we had a fun day of swimming, eating, tennis, more eating and of course fireworks!


This is as close as Sophie would get to any kind of fireworks. When the big ones started that night, I had to take her inside she was so scared!


Can't beat a good smoke bomb!




After all the festivities the kids passed out in the car on the way home. Thanks to the whole Kent Johnson family!! We had a blast and it was so good to see all of you! Love you!
