July 4th...

This year I decided to take the kiddos to the parade.. Braving the crowds and all.. Although it was a bit hot, the kids had a blast. We sat by The Mathesons, and even got to see Mack in the parade. Then it was off to the park to an awesome water slide our friend Rick made.. Ending the night with a barbecue and fireworks.. :) Fun times..

Casey and Jaden at the parade...

Float Preview..

This was so cool.. We were able to go look at all of the parade floats for the Days of 47 parade.. We had everything the parade had except for the heat.. Floats, clowns, marching bands, food and fun... Doesn't get any better.. Just going to share my favorites..

4th of July..

As going with our 4th of July we went to Raging Waters this year, now called Seven Peaks.... A few gripes about the new changes.. The cost I didn't really mind going up a tad, however when they charge you now to park, to rent a lawn chair (are you kidding me, 3.00) will not allow any outside food or drink and yes they searched EVERYTHING, kinda was a deal breaker for me!!! Esp since they did nothing to improve the park, it was exactly the same as last year. Although, as always we had a great time. A few of my favorite moments there..
