Evening of July 4th

We had a busy 4th as you can tell! The evening was just as busy as the rest of the day! After the baptism we ran up to Stanley for the kids to ride in the bike parade. It was fast and fun. I couldn't tell if we were in it, or if we missed it or what, either way we rode our bikes down the middle of main street and that was fun! Here are a couple of pictures from the parade:We borrowed a 3year old for our family picture here (Braden) Justin was NOT happy, he did not get a Popsicle after the parade and was pouting, (they ran out) this is the only shot I got of him, he was NOT a happy camper! BOO HOO!!

Then the men had to have a parade of their own,

{jared, ryan, cody, mark, aaron rode too}

Ryan was SO excited to get to ride in the mountains with his brothers! He only rides his motorcycle around the farm, he has never ridden on a track or in the mountains and his brothers are like professional riders, so they helped him catch the fever! He LOVED it! I think he will be riding a lot more often now!

Then the fireworks, there were tons, I mean TONS of sparklers flying while we were waiting for it to get dark. There were about 20 Telford cousins and then about that many cousins from Des's side of the family, so some Uncles and grandpas started a fire and just lit the sparklers right out of the fire. They were fun for the girls, until they got burned, Claire burned her finger, thumb and hand, poor kid! Emma burned one finger, but it didn't slow her down much!

Ashley just kept going and going! What a fun night!

Justin crashed out early and missed it all, we were SO exhausted from all of the playing!

We had such a great time! We had to leave right after the fireworks to get home, the only thing more sad than taking down the tent is taking down the Christmas tree! So TRUE! We were sad to leave! We could have stayed another week, it was such a great trip! Thanks Aaron and Des!
