The 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays. There is just something about parades, fireworks, family, BBQ's, and swimming that makes the day feel special. We were lucky enough to have Greg's parents and brother, and my sister and her husband here to celebrate with us. We woke up at 6:00 a.m. so Greg, his brother Steve, and Colton could run in the 5K. I know my goal was to run a 5K on the 4th, but since I ran in one a couple weeks ago, I opted out and let Colton run the first 1/2 mile with his Dad. He was in heaven. It was fun to pick him up and hear how excited he was about running in a part of the race.

Then we went to the parade. The boys had a great time this year and loved the anticipation of trying to catch the little candy that was thrown. The adults enjoyed it too because we had great seats in the shade.
Then we went swimming and to a family dinner party. Then we rounded the night off at the fireworks. The show was absolutely amazing. It was a great day!
