Happy Independence Day!

We haven't felt like we traveled enough (just kidding) so the day after getting home from Coronado we took off to the cabin to celebrate the 4th of July. We went up with Jacob's business partner and our friends Spencer and Alisa Caldwell and their family. Also Lou and Dawn Jarvies came up with their youngest son. We hung out around the cabin the first night and then the next morning got up bright and early to head to Showlow for the Parade. This year we got really good seat and set up and nice spot for the kids. Eli and Liam loved the parade and got way to eat way to much Popsicle and candy. After the parade we went home to catch fireworks...there have been fires up north recently so they canceled them this year due to fire hazard. Our kids go to bed between 8 and 8:30 so Jacob had the wonderful idea of buying our own and having our own party. (that is finally legal in AZ now) So we did it and had a wonderful time. Liam liked the smoke bombs and the sparklers while Eli loved anything. He ran around so excited and was his daddy's little helper. Jacobs idea to have our own party was wonderful!

p.s we paid the scouts to put a flag out front of our house for ever holiday. Eli saw them putting in the hole for the flag and he was really excited. He would asked me for days and days after that where is our flag. When we came home from the cabin and it was out he was so excited. He wanted to take a picture.
