24th of July Celebration

For the 24th I took the kids to the parade. It was the first time that I have ever been to the 24th parade. It was totally amazing! The floats were spectacular and the kids had a blast. Then we went to liberty park with our Swain train friends and watched the fireworks. It was fun!
We took light up sticks and played with them before the fireworks started. The kids really like playing with them. Below is Sadie, Annalise, Kayla and Ryker, waiting in anticipation for the fireworks.
The fireworks were awesome! Todd got a picture of one as you can see behind me.

Here is the Swain Train family.

I love this picutre because Todd is so focused on spinning the glowstick you can see it on his face.

Here is just one of the many beautiful floats they had at the parade. They were seriously amazing I have never seen floats so elegant and well thought out!

This was our sitting spot for the parade. I have a funny story behind this.. when we got to the parade we picked out a spot of grass that was empty. Well this huge Tongan lady came up to me and got in my face and was yelling at me saying you cannot sit here we stayed up and slept over night to have all of this grass right here and you can't sit here! Then she said she had tons of family coming and they needed the spot where we were at. After she was done talking to me there was fire and smoke coming from her nostrils.....Well, I didn't move. I stayed there the whole parade and her family never came. But she glared me down the whole time.
