4th of July Weekend...

We had a great 4th of July and a productive weekend as well.

We started out the morning at the parade...

It's always so hard for the kids to wait... especially when the parade is never on time. But after the first scooping up of the candy they forget all about the waiting. As usual the candy... hummers... and firetrucks bring the most smiles!

We actually still had fireworks from last year... so we got a small package of all kid friendly non lighting ones... you know the pops and confetti kind. The kids like these the best since they can do them all by themselves! Our neighbors always have a huge firework show so we watched those until it was time for the "biggest show in Idaho" love that we have such great seats right in our own front yard! Afterwards we put the tired kiddos to bed and then Stewart and I crawled out on the roof and watched the neighbors firework show finale which lasted until almost 1am!

Rest of the weekend was spent taking out yet another tree... and it's very large root ball and then getting the retaining wall ready to be replaced. Quite the weekend warriors we are!
