Our 4th

This was our first year spending the forth at home. We are usually camping in Oregon or at the coast...or some where. However, it was a great weekend. Nice and long. Did some deep house cleaning, the kind where you clean all the windows, blinds, base boards, take everything off the shelves and dust...BTW HATE dusting. It takes forever and is back in 2 seconds...maybe I should write a blog about "dusting". But back to the 4th of July. We went with our good friends to the Middleton parade. Our friends knew like everyone in the parade... :)

The funniest part was after some of the people on the floats would throw us candy, Maeley would throw it back. She has taken sharing to a whole new level :) JK
Carson was pretty toasty so we really liked it when the firetrucks came by and squirted water on us.

After the parade we went on the lake. And at this point I have to say... I have the best husband. Carson was really tired and had a sunburn from swimming a few days before, so Jace stayed back and let Carson sleep and got everything ready for the delicious BBQ we enjoyed after we got done boating. Now really...how many husbands would do that????

Unfortunately most of the photos I took while we lit fireworks turned out like this one.But a few didn't and these are them...
