4th of July






On the 4th of July we went to a parade. The kids loved it. They loved seeing the storm troopers and curious George, and the big balloons. They had an octopus and a bald eagle balloon. Chanse saw the Bald eagle coming and he yelled out "look a balled eagle." The day was very hot. We cooked out in the Las Vegas sun. But none of us got sunburned. We had a range of SPF 30 to 85 on. I always burn. I guess th 85 worked. I think it was 111 out that day. We had a blast. We then went home and rested. We went outside and had a BBQ. And we did our "fireworks," poppers and snappers. Hero and Chanse just loved it. They threw the snappers down on the ground and jumped on them. They loved it. Then we actually saw fireworks this year. We went to the Red Rock casino. We parked our car across the street and watched the show. The kids loved it. The radio stations had the music the show was choreographed to. When the fireworks were over the kids wanted to watch it again. You have to wait. Fun day! Oh and Ben got interviewed at the parade for the news but we missed the news. Happy 4th of July!!

I love the video of Hero and Chanse! Too cute! It's fun to see pictures of them and see how much they have grown and hear their cute little voices:)
