I realize I'm almost a week late in posting this but with all the vacation and birthday posting going on I haven't had a chance until now. Well I guess I could have yesterday but I spent my free time while the kids were napping scrapping - I finished 3 pages, plus the two from Saturday and that's 5 pages done in a weekend! Anyway, back to our Fourth of July, Independence Day celebrations.
There was a festival here at Fort Campbell and on the third they had $$ days, each ride cost 1 ticket to ride, each ticket was a dollar so you only paid $1 per ride rather than the 3-5 tickets {dollars} it would normally cost. We had so much fun, especially Michael. There was plenty of parking when we got there, it wasn't too crowded and Michael went on 7 rides in a little over an hour {three of them one of us had to go with him}. Shawn really had a lot of fun watching him and going on two of the rides - the fun ho
use & super slide. I enjoyed watching him but didn't like the ride I went on with him so much. I can't remember the name of it but it went around in circles much quicker than I anticipated and then when I thought it was done, went in reverse - I used to ♥ rides like gravitron & the zipper but now that kind of stuff gives me a headache.
On the fourth of July Shawn was off work so we hung out at the house. The boys wore red and the girls wore blue - I wanted to get a group photo but didn't want to risk it with my dieing battery and fussy kids. So we got some photos of each of us with the kids and the kids alone. We had planned on going back to the festival to watch the fireworks but realized it would be much easier to stay home and w
atch from the sidewalk. The show started 2 hours after Lydia's bedtime so I'd be struggling with her, the parking would be awful & we'd have to walk a long distance to the field, finding a spot on the field would be nearly impossible because of all the people who went to the festival that day...just a lot. So one year when the kids are a little older we'll brave the crowds and watch the show up close, until then it's a sidewalk show for us. I think this was better for Michael this year too. He covered his ears with as far away as we were I can just imagine how he would have been if we were up close. He really liked it though and was very upset we couldn't make them do more when it was all done. I hope all my fellow Americans enjoyed your fourth, I've already seen pictures that prove many of you did. Thanks for stopping by!

AWWWWW looks so fun! I love the picture of Daddy and Michael, very cute! It's really nice that you could see the fireworks from your sidewalk at least and didn't have to brave the crowds, that can be such a pain with little kids, ESPECIALLY since it is usually after their bedtime ;-) OH, and stop braggin about the scrap progress if you aren't going to post pictures!!! :-D
Your kids are so darling!!! And they looked like they were having so much fun!!
