Happy 4th of July!

We are a little late at getting this on but I have a legitimate excuse! 

Our 4th of July was a lot of fun for the most part! We had the chance to get away and visit family! That is always nice! We went up to Richfield on Friday and stayed at my sister Angie's house! When we got there we had a little bit to settle in and then load right back up in the van again! It was my nephew's birthday on Monday so we went up to Fish Lake and went fishing for the rest of the day! It was a lot of fun watching Emma run around having fun!  Saturday we got up and walked up the street to the parade! The load sirens and other things really freaked Emma out but I think she had fun for the most part! She was tired after a long night and an early morning! Later in the evening we went over to Salina and went to their parade! We met up with my brother Brad and his family there! It was a lot of fun to see them. We were busy helping the kids and trying to keep them out of the street when the parade started and then all of a sudden the fire alarm went off. We didn't really think anything of it until they had to put a stop to the parade for a minute as the fire trucks went through and they stopped by where our van was parked! I sent Trev to the van to get "WATER", but really to see what was going on! There was a suburban that was a couple parking spaces away that started on fire! Their transmission fluid all leaked out and then the flames started! SCARY!!! I am glad it wasn't us and that our van was safe!! After the parade we went over to my dad's house and visited for a while! Fireworks were later that night and the rest is pretty much history and isn't worth telling about! Overall it was a great weekend and we had fun!
