INDEPENDENCE DAY

Happy 4th of July!!!





We started the day off by throwing Mia around in the pool. Then we all got ready and ran errands. Elijah spent some of his birthday money on Guitar Hero, and we got a Wii for him to play it on. Then we went to the Stater Bros and all went grocery shopping together (this is alwys fun -Because I have so much "help"). After we got home we played the Wii and hung around the house together. The 4th stuff actually started around 10:00am but it was well over 100 degrees out, so we opted for AC until later. After an early dinner of hot dogs we headed for the stadium at University of Redlands. This is a beautiful campus and it was fun to get to check it out. After parking about a mile away (OK not really, but with three kids, a cooler, a quilt and three flags with pointy ends...) we arrived at a crowded stadium. We spread out the quilt, enjoyed each others company, watched some amazing skydivers and huge planes flying over, had a healthy dose of family conflict and watched some spectacular fireworks.
