July 4th 2009!!

This year to celebrate the 4th of July we decided to go to the Portage Parade with our friends the Carvers. They were so gracious to save us a prime seat along the parade route so that we could sleep in a few extra minutes. The weather was "ehh" but fun was had by all. Deb (the quick thinking mother) brought bubbles and sidewalk chalk for the kids to play with before, during and after the parade. The pictures below show all the kids (Caleb, Maddy and Kenzie) having a grand ole' time and a little snapshot of their fine artwork!!
