Caleb was really looking forward to July 4th because he knew that meant we could set off the fireworks that we had! On Saturday we started our day out by going to the Portage Parade with our friends the Carver's. The parade was a lot of fun...very long and hot...but we all enjoyed the time we got to spend together.

Caleb took a little time before the parade started to draw some art work on the road. See his orange bow and arrow!.JPG)

After the parade we spent the rest of the day/evening at home!! Jim had promised Caleb that he would set up our tent one night soon and he picked Saturday night to do this. We told Caleb that he and his friend could sleep out in the tent that night. We did a few fireworks & sparklers then headed to the back yard for a fire and camp out. Caleb and his friend Antonio roasted marshmallows and made smores...then head to the tent for their sleep over. They only stay out in the tent for about an hour...because all of the loud fireworks that were going off till the wee hours of the morning...but they still had a blast!
