Happy 4th of July

The 4th of July is one of my very favorite holidays. Remember the flag raising, donuts, the 4th of July program, swimming, and fireworks...oh the traditions! I still remember Steve busting out his big line in the program, "We are greasers" well at least that is what it sounded like. It was supposed to be "We agree sir!" We have sure had some good laughs. Mom and Dad thanks for being a good example of patriotism and placing such an importance on being good citizens.

I went to Emily's for the 4th of July. It was so much fun to celebrate the holiday with her family and with Mom and Dad!

Happy girls!

We had the best BBQ. We had steaks that mom hand picked, corn on the cob, watermellon, and Grandpa Lundwall's icecream. Seriously the best meal I've had in a long time. Dad and Russ cooked the steaks perfectly. In fact, they put mine on way before everyone else's since I like mine well well-done. Yum!

After the BBQ we went to a cute little town near Tahoe. They had a 4th of July production going on in the park with canyons and the 1820 overture. It was quite impressive. Oh course I shed a tear during "Stars and Stripes Forever!"

Before we left for the big fire work show, we did some sparklers and explosive flowers in the back yard. Hannah had no fear. She loved the fireworks.

Parker was freaked out by the fireworks, he was curious but the noise and flames were just a little too much for the little guy.

Hanging out waiting for the fireworks!

The fireworks were awesome. I got a new camera and was real curious on how it would capture the fireworks...pretty good, don't you think?

Both kids were fast a sleep by the grand finale! Sweet babies :)
