Checking out the Cruise-In Car Show

Bryan's parents came up for the car show and spent the night with us. Carter's favorite vehicle was the Bus above.

Papa, Hailey, Carter and Maggie

Hailey enjoyed the free ride!

We went to the Lewiston Parade on 4th of July morning. We've never been to that one, and thought it would be fun to check it out. Really, it was pretty much the same as the Hyrum parade but was earlier in the morning so we were able to avoid the heat!

Waiting for the parade to start, do they look excited or what?

Carter was sooooo excited to get candy. Last year he was a little timid and stood back and got mad that he didn't get much candy. This year, he was ready. It was fun watching him run back and forth the whole time getting as much as he could. He was determined! He was also very generous and when he would get a lot at a time, he would share with the other kids around him.

Parades are not what they used to be, I wasn't too impressed, but at least the kids were happy to get candy!

The Boy Scouts had the fun job of cleaning up horse manure along the road. I don't think I have ever seen them doing that, it was kind of funny! What troopers!

Hailey got about 10 candies in her bucket and was perfectly content. I think she knew that she had a nice brother that would share with her!

We had some friends over to BBQ and watch fireworks. Bryan did a Home Inspection for someone that owns a fireworks stand and he traded Bryan for Fireworks. Needless to say, we had quite a few!

Our friend brought over cookies with blue and red frosting, so the kids look like little vampires :)
