Fourth of July

I am grateful for Independence Day. I am grateful for those who serve our country. I am grateful for the freedoms we have in this country. I am grateful that I could go back to Utah to be with my family for the Fourth of July. We really had a great time doing our annual 5k run/walk race. The best part is the t-shirt that you get when you have finished. After the morning race we had a great breakfast provided by the 'Kiwanis/Elk' guys. Parker enjoyed the pancakes. We then went back to where the race was and watched the Old Glory Days Parade. Parker now associates a firetruck with 'cany' (candy). He did really well until the high school senior class got him wet with their water guns.

Grandma Nanette was eager to take Lincoln for a little bit. Lincoln enjoyed snuggling up into her for the whole parade. I enjoyed it because I had my hands free to take pictures and grab a few pieces of candy.

Willie was Parkers designated bag holder. Willie was really good at chasing down the candy with Parker and filling up the bag. Parker had fun with his cousins; Kaylee, Daxton and especially Logan.

Logan had a fun time and kept saying 'wooooo'. He and Parker are good buddies.

Here is Parker loving the firetrucks, and there were a whole bunch of them for him to enjoy.
