4th of July


We had such a great holiday this year. It was great to be able to spend the 4th with the family. The day was a little crazy. We started early and went to the Magna Parade (always and interesting time.) Chris was able to get off early so he met us down there. Myles collected a TON of candy and had a blast. Logan was there with his Mom and Step-dad and he had a good time also. It's nice to be at a point where the 4 of us can get along and spend holidays all together. I know it's a lot better for Logan. After the parade we headed over to my sister's wedding...yep on the 4th of July. It was a Harley Davidson wedding and it was as disorganized as I knew it would be, and it was absolutely perfect!! Lori looked beautiful and it was just a great time. My nephew Jacob was even there who I haven't seen in like 10 years!! He looks great and is living out here now so hopefully it will be good for him. After the wedding we went over to Chris' mom's and the boys played in the sprinkler. Then we lit some fireworks!! Logan is scared of them, but still can enjoy them if he is a good distance away. Chase LOVED them from the start, and once Myles got used to the noise and sparks he liked them too. I even got him to hold a sparkler which he couldn't get enough of. After that was done, Chris, Myles, Logan and I went over to the Cyprus football field and watched the Magna Park fireworks from there. It was a perfect spot, we could see everything and there was no traffic! That's probably where we'll go from now on. It was such a great day and I can't wait to have more holidays just like that one!
