Fourth of July, 2009

So, on the 4th of July we had a great time! When you live in a small town like Hooper, Utah... you enjoy the benefits of parades Redneck Style!

Jayci and J.J. got to ride on the float for our ward primary, Jason decided (or better yet... I decided) it would be best to walk along with them just to make sure Jayci sat still and so did J.J.

There was plenty of tractors, vintage model cars, the General Lee, a school bus, lot's of horses and of course... the Redneck Stone Henge due himself! It was great and we had a good time. Kayla got sprayed from one the people carrying a super soaker gun. Just because I'm that way... I had to flag 'em over to get her. (heh heh heh... evil snicker)

We then headed to the park for a little after parade fun. The kids played on the swings and just ran all over in excitement! We then headed back home until the evening, which we then enjoyed our neighborhood band... The Greg Simpson band. They consist of our Bishop as the singer and guitar, our neighbor from across the road on guitar and a few others. They're great!

We then enjoyed the fireworks that lasted for about 45 minutes. Jayci enjoyed jumping all over her favorite friend Kylee Cunningham, with whom was glad to play with her.

We ended the night with a *BANG* as one of our neighbors (with whom I'll have remain anonymous) was setting off a bunch of illegal fireworks for everyone's enjoyment. It was great!
