4th of July

4th of July started with the Firecracker 5000.  Jessica and my dad ran as well.  Grant and Ima cheered us on!  The weather was great and it was Jessica and I had the best run yet!

Pre-race

There was no breeze.  You will notice the beautiful riverfront flag is not waving!
Post race (we still look pretty good, don't you think?!)
4th of July parade in neighboring small town.  Kids love it!  Great hometown feel!  We ended up sitting next to 6 other families we know.  So fun!
 We had a cookout at our friend's house but then headed our separate ways for fireworks.  Grant really wanted a picture by himself so he is trying to push out his sister - notice her smile can't be broken!

Poor Grant fell asleep 10 minutes before they started.  He said "wake me up when they start."  I tried buddy, I promise I tried!  I tried several times - he was out!  On the way home in the car he woke up and said "when are they going to start?"  Oh buddy...you kind of missed them.  He nodded back off.  He didn't realize until we were changing him into his pi's and he really woke up that he had indeed missed them entirely (yes lots of boohooing).  On the plus we did find an excellent viewing spot - you will notice the privacy- there are not people packed around us! Great show!
