4th Of July

The 4th...well 3rd of July was a great day. Chris and I both had to work in the morning so my brother and sister-in-law took Myles to the Magna Parade. I was able to meet up with them shortly before it was over and we headed down to the carnival at Magna Park. We didn't stay long, but Myles had a great time on the rides. Of course!


He loves the Merry-Go-Round. The whole time he as saying "Giddy up horsey." and Ye-Haw I'm a cowboy!" He cracks me up.


Uncle Clay and Elizabeth took him on the big slide. He went 2 or 3 times and loved it so much that he cried each time it was over.


Riding the motorcycles again.


By far his favorite ride was the little roller coaster. I was nervous to let him go at first, but he had such a great time. He was all smiles the whole time he was riding. I've never seen him enjoy a ride so much. It was great to be able to watch him have such a good time.



He had spent Friday night at Uncle Clay's house and was finally able to master peddling his bike. He was so proud of him self that he got it. He was on his bike every chance he got for the rest of the weekend. (this picture is actually him on his cousin's bike though. they were sharing. lol)


That night, after lighting a few fireworks at Grandma Teresa's we let the boys ride their bikes over to the high school to watch the big fire works. We've found that Cyprus is the perfect spot to watch them. It's not crowded at all and it's far enough away that Myles isn't scared of the noise and the closeness of the big ones.


This is Chase and Myles watching the fireworks with Grandma. We asked them if they wanted to take their helmets off, but the both decided it was better to keep them on through the whole show.


Myles talking to Grandma or maybe just stopping for a 5 second cuddle.

It was such a great day. Thank you to all of our troops, past and present, who have stood up for this wonderful country. Without you our world would be a much different place and we are all forever grateful.
