Independance Day

We had a great, though very long day yesterday. We all got up early and Tonya had to help the young women put up the American Flags along 450 East. When she came home, we went to Worthen Park for breakfast. It was really good, ham eggs and pancakes and it is just fun to go out and have a good start to the day. We went back home for a while and cleaned up and then went back to the park for all the activities. Taylor did the rock climb, although she didn't make it to the top, and then Taylor and Shaylie played on the air-filled equipment for a while. The city also has some free games around the park, the girls played those, and they had long slip and slides set up and a water sponge war area. Needless to say, the girls kept nice and wet. Lastly, they rode a train around the park (it was a lawn mower tractor pulling 50 gallon drums :-) ) We also bought Taylor a two-legged walking puppet.
Later, Shaylee and Sydney came over to swim, and then Anje, Anissa, and Dawn came down. We ate dinner at home and headed to our usual place at the park.
The fireworks started promptly and ten o'clock and the hillside was prompty on fire by 10:05. The fires were out by the end of the fireworks, but it was a pretty good fire. The fireworks were good also :-D
We came home afterwards and did our own fireworks, and I was so tried that I went to sleep about five seconds after that. It was a pretty good day.
