3rd & 4th of July

Our festivities kicked off Saturday morning when we went to the parade in Marietta. Nathan got his own flag to wave, he got to see fire trucks, police cars and horses among other things (like every single person and their entourage who is running for any type of office in the state of Georgia this fall). It was a lot of fun. After the parade we got snow cones! Then it was home for a nap and to wait for Aunt Bonnie's family.



Kennesaw does their fireworks on the 3rd, so we went to watch them. They have bands playing (this year it was a Bruce Springsteen tribute band), lots of jumpy things and slides for kids, food, popcorn and snow cones.

To bad the tree and phone poles were in the way of the pictures.
Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Russ, Jake, Kyler and Zoey came over to spend the weekend with us (it is so nice to have them close now). So they came to the fireworks with us. Unfortunately, Jake liked the Rigby fireworks better. We had lots of fun, and on the way home we even found a fun hill to roll down.

Sunday night we had our friends the Buttle's join us for our own firework show. We tried to keep the kids corralled in the back of the truck. That didn't last too long though.

We had lots of fun! I love 4th of July, and I can't wait until next year for more fun!
