July 4th

Ah, July 4th!  My favorite day of the summer.  It is pure summer fun.... going to the Evergreen parade.... having hundreds of pieces of candy thrown at us.... hanging out with Grandpa Morrison.... snacking on freshly picked peas from his garden, swimming at my in-laws..... BBQing.... lighting sparklers.....  going to the golf course to watch fireworks.... and watching my children take in all of the magic of the holiday = pure heaven for Dani.

The Morrison family crowd at the parade.....


Dan never forgets his glove - so convenient for catching candy.


Uncle Dick let Lincoln wear his hat to protect his bald head from the sun




This clown was just trying to make the kids smile and he scared them all away


Babies either love or hate the grass and I am lucky this little one loves it!


Lance is the messiest eater ever - gotta love him!


I love this picture of Grandpa Morrison wearing the hat he wears every July 4th and holding a bowl of his freshly picked peas.


The cousins...




An attempt at a family picture, Rob was camping the night before and came straight from the campground.  The boys had stains on their shirts and dirt in their nails - boys will be boys.

Rick joined us for sparklers and fireworks.  When Liam and Lance see uncle Rick they instantly start attacking him and wrestling with him - poor guy.






What a great holiday!
