Let Freedom Ring -July 4th 2010

We got home from our fun fun Cali trip July 3rd and so, Sunday the next day was July 4th. What a great day, the founding fathers were inspired and turned to our Heavenly Father to create this wonderful country we live in. "In God we Trust", and don't ever let the world tell you different. Poor Ryker, this is as close to patriotic wear that he had. He won't wear ties so a navy blue vest had to do.

Then later that night we went over to the Martineaus for a yummy BBQ and spending time with family.
I just have to document the fact that this little girls is always on the go. She is so busy and happy. But watch out because she loves to tease.
Doug set the camera up and set the timer to take like 20 pictures, he didn't tell us so after the first one went off we all moved and realized it was still snapping pictures. My sister Sarah and her hubby joined us since the rest of my family are all in Colorado.
Since it was Sunday we couldn't go swimming but we had water guns to keep us cool.
Of course we ended the night with sparklers. Amelia LOVED them and wasn't afraid at all.
Ryker on the other hand was a little more nervous, but with only a few left we convinced him to hold one. He held as far from him as he could and would move. While we had to keep telling Amelia to stop running around and be careful not to catch her hair on fire.
Happy 4th!!

I'm still mad we didn't get to hang out later that night that you were over at my parents.... maybe you saw on Facebook already, but that was the night I ended up in the ER :( no bueno. At least it's only 5 months til Christmas! OK, that's still not soon enough :(
