Another Independence Day has come and gone and sure enough it was very eventful. Susie started celebrating her day off by cleaning a house. She left at about 8:30 am and arrived home around noon. Meanwhile, Kira and I attended the Wellington 4th of July parade. It didn't seem fair that we got to have fun while Susie worked but we really enjoyed ourselves anyway.
Kira and I watch the parade with my Parents and Laurel, Jack, and Travis who are all residents of Wellington. Susie informed me on the way to the parade that Kira had NOT had breakfeast yet so we stopped at a gas station and got a sandwich and some juice to share.
The parade had lots of animals, firetrucks, cars, and tractors including a pink one.
About every parade entry was giving stuff away to the crowd including a lot of candy being thrown at the kids lining the street; some of which ended up in horse poop. Though Kira and Travis aren't quite old enough to cash in on all of that booty, they did manage to get beaded necklaces and Travis got a plastic mini football. I also got a discount coupon for equine riding lessons for all ages- yesss!
After both of us got home and ate lunch, Kira took a nap while Susie and I finished staining the fence. It is pretty much done but still needs a little touch up in some spots. That turned out to be a big project leaving me with a sore back.
For our evening fireworks display experience we chose to drive to nearby Loveland. They put on a nice show that is viewed around their large city lake. We met up with some friends at the lake's park amphitheatre and took in some band music before watching the show. We experienced a light refreshing rain for about 20 minutes but then it stopped and the fireworks started. It was a fantastic display. We hope everyone else had a nice holiday too.
Kira watched the fireworks for a while but the poor little girl was so tired that she fell asleep half way through the show.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY KIRA!!! We trust you're all having a great celebration!
Yes Susie... we would love to hear from you... but you do an excellent job of keeping us all updated Bart. Looks like you had a wonderful 4th! And the camper looks fun! Maybe someday we'll get that RV I keep nagging Eric about and travel on out to see ya!!
Love you guys!
Where are the pics from the birthday party?!
I do need to help with the next posting, we had an awesome birthday party outside here with at least 50 people joining us for a BBQ. We kept really busy since then getting off for a little camping vacation with my mom. She is back in Illinois now and we are unpacking from our big adventure.
Meghan your gift and card were so PERFECT... Kira loves her newborn cabbage patch kid and shares the bottle with it! She is into kissing her lots but gets a bit rough:) Mom got her a boy one - the last on the shelf his name is DARIUS... he is a crack up to look at! Mom thought we should call him Little Ricky but I insisted otherwise!!! Kira is loving all her new toys, we were ready for a change too: ) You're the BEST!
