Wall Celebration

We went down to the annual Wall celebration on Saturday morning.  We made it down just in time for the parade...much to Aiden's delight:) 

 

See what I mean?!

Poor little guy..the firetrucks are just waaaaayyyy to loud for his fragile little ears, I guess! :)

Tyson and Mason were right in their grabbing the candy, and made sure to share some with Aiden...so sweet!

After the parade we went down to the tent.  It was hot...as in over 100 degrees hot...so it didn't take the boys long to find the bubble tank.  The firefighters filled it with eggs filled with coins and bracelets that the kids had a blast searching for underneath all the foam!

Look Mom.....bubbles!!!

We then finished out the day at Grandma Brenda's house... in the comfort of the air conditioning.  Aunt Amy and Uncle Terry had also come back for the weekend and stayed out at Grandma's as well, so we just hung out Saturday night and went to bed early...you know...like all the "party animals" do! :)

4th of July Weekend

We hung low for the actual 4th of July since it was smack dab in the middle of the week.  Scott had to work too, and he didn't make it home until around 7pm:(  The boys and I spent the day with Marla, Tony, and the boys, and Grandma Brenda.  We went to the Piedmont parade in the morning and spent the rest of the day at Marla and Tony's neighbors-Tim and Ann.  Scott made it home in time to watch the fireworks with us from Marla and Tony's back deck. 

The 4th of July weekend we were invited to cousin Barb and Joe's in Sundance.  Scott had the day off and we jumped at the chance to go hang with the family!

 

Tyson is a quick study with just about any sport/game he tries, and he proved it while playing ladder golf!  Him and cousin Barb made a great team!

The water was filled with little fish that loved to jump on Tyson's hook.  This little guy was one of many he caught that day!

These two guys, on the other hand, kept busy throwing rocks in the water.  I think Joe was seriously thinking of hiring them out to clean up the rocks in his yard:)

Grandma was a good sport and hung with the boys by the water!

Another good catch!

Barb and Joe's dogs love fish, and the boys were sure to share their goods with them:)

Check out these 2 patriotic cuties!

 Even the "big boys" got in on the fun!  Joe has a cool set up where he shoots out clay pigeons over the water and they all took turns seeing who was the "best shot"!

Overall it was an awesome day, and we all had a blast getting to visit and hang out with everyone!  Thanks again Barb and Joe for inviting us!  Can't wait to get together and do it all again! :)
