4th of July

We all decided to go to the Monument parade this year. We took the shuttle from Lewis Palmer High school. The kids thought it was fun riding the school bus. Although next year I think we decided against the shuttle as it took a long time to get back to our cars after the parade.



We Tie-Dyed the kids shirts with Kool aid...sorta worked :)
Having a elephant in the parade was pretty fun.
I luckily found a little spot with shade for me an Hadley to hang out and watch the parade

After getting super hot at the parade, we headed to Matt and Cathy's to cool off in their pool. We BBQ'ed and just let the kids play all afternoon.




At about 7 we headed up to Palmer Lake to watch the fireworks. The shoot them over the lake so we just laid out some blankets at the park to watch the fireworks. It was really a beautiful place to be. Beckett and all the other grand kids had a blast wrestling with papa.

Hadley's first fireworks and she slept through it!
