HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Happy 4th of July to all our family and friends. We started our celebration on Friday night with the "Fun Run". All kids through age 12 are invited to run. Nicole did not want to sign up but we all went to cheer Ashley on. Her age group had to run 1/4 mile. There were so many runners that she was knocked over at the start of the race. She fell hard, face forward, got up and looked around for a minute and then took off running. She finished in the middle of the pack. Not bad with a late start. Way to go Ashley!

Yesterday morning I ran a 10k in our home town. After that we walked up to the parade and had our traditional lunch with our friends. We spent the early afternoon hanging out with friends in the neighborhood. Later in the day we went to the Lake to have dinner with the Smith's. The lake was very relaxing. The girls had a great time swimming and came home nice and dirty. Today we will be having a Taco Bar with family and friends and then head off to see fireworks on the lake.
