Usually, it's an Amanda and Ben thing, but Ben wanted to stay home and play with his siblings (they're all now addicted to Magic the Gathering). So, Amanda, Cari and I went and also met up with Joe and Stephanie at the fair attached to the rodeo.
I got a little silly and had Joe and Amanda compare hand sizes. Joe was a good sport about it and we all thought it was kinda funny. We all then went back to Cari's house and had a great view of the fireworks from their backyard.
On the 4th, we watched the parade and cheered on Amanda, Holly, Kelly (Amanda's mom), Jessica and her mom as they ran the 5k race that starts out the parade.
The boys and their cousins got pretty excited about all the candy the people on the floats were throwing. They were much more interested in the candy than anything else that day.
Later that night, we went down to the waterfront and watched the fantastic fireworks show. That little town does an amazing job of celebrating Independence Day and the boys actually woke up enough to watch part of the show.
We left by lunch the next day and had a nice, easy and hot trip home. It was 107 degrees through some of the parts of California we drove through!
