NOT THE THIRD BUT THE FOURTH...

The fourth of July came and went, but not without a little bit of fun first... Actually a lot of fun!!! Our day started when Scot and Amy arrived, early in the morning so that we could all enjoy the Parade in Woodruff, ten minutes from our house. I have to say, I do believe it will become a tradition for us. We enjoyed the parade... and oh yeah, since when have you seen a parade go one direction, turn around and come back? We truly saw it coming and going!!!



















Waiting for the Parade to start...



















Born in the U.S.A.
I'm surprised I got a picture of Braedyn with the Hat on.

Next... onto Bear Lake. It was a complete and total blast! It wasn't Braedyn's first time at the Beach, but it was definetely the first time that he "ENJOYED" it. We pitched our screen tent, set up our chairs and had the "BESTEST" time. The weather was perfect and the company better. Braedyn had a great time with his new sand toys and believe it or not... he didn't even eat any sand, at least not any that he digested. The water was a perfect temperature, so that we could all have fun.






After a Wet and Sandy Afternoon at the Lake, we headed back to Randolph for a delicious BBQ and Fireworks. It was all we could do to keep ourselves awake late enough to do fireworks, but we made it. I have to admit though... I don't think I have been that tired since Braedyn was a Newborn.

Even though it was late... We Truly SPARKLED!!!

At the end of a VERY FUN-FILLED day... we all CRASHED, but how cute is this little crasher?
