4th of July on the Farm

There's something to be said about a small town on the 4th of July. Small town parades are the best. So far 2 of the best fireworks shows have been in smaller communities. I never thought I could live in a small town but find myself rethinking it as an option more every year after we go visit Grandma and Papa Brian. The girls had a blast. The weather was nice and they could go out and run around as much as they wanted. One of the highlights for the girls had to have been all of the candy that was thrown around @ the parade. You should have seen their faces. It was difficult to get them to pose for a few shots as they were a tad bit preoccupied with the whole candy thing. We also had nanny Mandy come and visit us in Richfield (that was one of my highlights). We sure miss her. Well all in all it was a perfect trip but when it comes down to it I need my city ways to stay a bit closer. Don't worry though Papa and Grandma, we will be back again soon, 12 hour drive and all. A drive that is only supposed to be 8 hours. Poor little babies were quite the troopers packed in there 5 car seats and all. We'll save that for another story though. I had to post a picture of the elk head because they are everywhere @ the in-laws house. It took me a little while to get used to all of the animal head business. When I was growing up I begged my Dad to take me fishing. One day he really did take us but it was to the fish farm. PLEASE... I could have caught them with my bear hands. Oh well my Dad's always been more of the artsy kind (in a manly way). I love you Dad!

Hooray for the red, white & blue!


Big sparkler for such a little girl.


Hi Wellsey!


Cousins all lined up.


Hi again Wells!


Papa lovin.


Just one more picture please or I'll take away your candy!


Take me to the 50's, check out the car.


Are you serious?


My 3 sons.


Let's here it for Grandma.


Whoa there little elk!!


Summer fun.


Oh wait here's Christianson.


That's all folks! Good times.

What the!!!! I wanted to be the first to comment again. :)

Seriously I love the 4th in small towns. Hey I'd like to get a set of deer antlers of my own. Could you arrange that for me or shall I steal some from Afton's elk horn arch? :)

So fun to see all the kiddos in the car. That must have been quite an adventure driving that far! All of your kiddos are so adorable and growing up so quickly. It's so fun to see all the cute pictures!!
