4th of July Fun!

It has been a very busy summer so far, so I apologize for not keeping our blog updated. But we had big fun last weekend while at the lake with Na's family. Each year their little neighborhood at the lake has a parade on the 4th. Everyone pulls out the lawn chairs and sits in their yard while the parade goes by. We have participated in the parade in years past, but this year we decided to get serious - the goal was to "place" ... we didn't care if we won 1st place, we just wanted to place.


Well we far exceeded our expectations ... we won 1st place in the small wheels division, 3rd place in the lawnmower/golf cart division and Chris won 1st place in the pie eating contest! We had full family participation ... we are so proud!!!

Grant's Truck all pimped out for the parade, notice the "rims" are pinwheels!
The girls in their red, white & blue tutu's all ready for the parade.
We put the kids in the trailer part of the lawnmower so they could
throw candy at the crowd. They really liked doing this!

Sweet Abby
Sweet Grant
