I figured I better hurry and post about the 4th July before the 24th gets here and I don't get too far behind and have to play catch up on both. Tyler was in Alabama working on the fourth of July and had a really busy day which is good. He said in Birmingham where he was at there wasn't too many celebrations going on. I guess they don't know how to have celebrations in the south like we do here. Tyler's sister Melinda and her husband Reed and their two boys, Chandler and Deegan came down from Wyoming. Also Tyler's other sister Kristy and her family was down. We went to the rodeo in Mt. Pleasant on Friday night and Chandler did the muttin bustin and Deegan chased a pig. It was so fun to watch them but Chandler fell off the sheep and hurt his hand and Deegan kept tripping in the dirt and let's just say, they didn't like it too much. It was still way fun and the food there was great!
Saturday we went up Fairview canyon to go fishing. We weren't sure if we were going to catch any but we ended up catching five or six and we were happy with that. We just wanted to catch a few so the boys could reel them in. It was a beautiful day and we all got a little sun burnt but had a good time.
Then that night Kayson, Kristy's son, was racing his fourwheeler at the drag races in Moroni so we headed over there to cheer him on. He won and did a great job...he was so cute and funny to watch!
I went to church with Tyler's family in Mt. Pleasant on Sunday and then hung out at their house for a bit. I then went out to my mom's for dinner and we had a little mexican horse shoes tournament out in the middle of the road in Milburn. It was great fun and me and Ashlee won! That night we did fire works at Tyler's parents house. It was fun to watch and the guy's made me nervous sometimes and paranoid me always worries that someone is going to get hurt but we were injury free :) We had some pretty cool fire works that Melinda and Reed brought down from Wyoming and the neighbors had some good ones too. It was fun!
Monday we went to the parade and it was good as always. The kids were fun to watch and they seemed to get quite a bit of candy. It started a little later than we thought but that was ok because I was running late in getting there.
Kayson was in the parade this year and he sat in the back of this blue car and threw candy. The boy's were excited to see him when they drove by :)
After the parade we went to the city park and got some food and walked around for a bit. We watched mud volleyball. My sister and two brothers were playing in it so while they took the kids on the rides I went back and watched them play. It looked fun to play in and I think they ended up taking fourth place. We went back to the house and watched a movie then headed to the big fireworks the city puts on. We went and sat up on the hill at the soccer field by the high school. It was a perfect spot to sit and the fireworks were really good this year and lasted a long time. We did get rained on a little bit but that is ok.
Waiting for the fireworks to start
It was a fun 4th of July and I hope everyone had a good weekend. I really missed Tyler though and it was hard not having him there with us!
*Thanks to my sis-in-law Melinda for letting me steal her pictures. I can't find the charger to our camera :(
