We had a great July fourth. We started it out with the neighborhood parade. The kids decorate their bikes/wagons and ride around the block with patriotic music playing. Then they draw pieces of paper and if your paper has an X on it you are the lucky person to pull the string to the cannon. Four lucky kids get to have a chance to shoot off the cannon. The kids really enjoy this except for the loud noise from the cannon is not a big hit with the little ones. Brooke and Presley didn't get a chance at the cannon this year. They also have a contest for the best decorated bike and give out monetary prizes. The girls both came home with a dollar and were so excited to put it in their piggy bank. It is such a sweet tradition and is over before you know it. It is also a chance to see neighbors we never see.
The girls took a nap and after their nap we went to The Woodruffs to swim in their awesome pool. The girls were especially excited about the slide and the diving board. They are like little fish since they have had their swim lessons. We are so sad because their house is on the market and we will miss their pool once the house sells but so glad we enjoyed it one last time on this special day. The food and company was great. All the girls stayed at home while the guys went on to the Ranger game. It was a fun day and the girls were so exhausted they fell asleep on the way home. They were especially excited when I told them Erin was going to spend the night. They really love their play time with Erin when she comes over.
