We packed the kids on the 4-wheelers with Joey and my dad and they headed into town for the parade, mom and I drove the pick-up.
The kids had so much fun at the parade!! Lyv was had run out to grab a piece of candy and after she got it she was walking back to us a kid was running for more candy and he literally tackled her and slammed her to the ground! He totally didn't see her, he had to be about 10 or 11. Right in front of everyone, she scraped her knee and elbow, but was otherwise fine, I felt bad for the kid, I'm sure he felt awful! We didn't see him again after that.
Even after being pummled, she still kept going for that candy! She's such a trooper! It took Kai a little while but once he figured out that the girls were running after candy, he wanted in on the action! The girls would come back with their candy and give Kai a piece, he was all over that!
Here they are showing off their spoils, the otterpops were the hardest to get, people aren't as generous with those!
We had so much fun at the parade, as soon as it's over, everyone heads over to the park and finds some shade, we found a great tree to set up under.
there are tons of food booths, games, a stage, bounce houses and train rides. The kids rode the train a couple times.
Kai wouldn't go without me, at least that's what I told them :)
There were some people singing up on a stage, so of course Lyv wanted to go watch, as soon as we got there the girls started to pole dance to the music! Seriously, Lyv was getting a little carried away... They were entertaining the entire audience, we were just rolling, which made them keep going, they are such hams!!
All in all we had a ton of fun!! I love that we have a nice COOLER place to go for the 4th, the girls have been looking forward to it for months. I can't wait 'til next year!
