Independence Day

Luke ran in the 5K race and took first for his age group. Jackson and Addie ran in the kids race and did great too. Luke has been trying to get me to run with him in the race for several years but I prefer cheering him on. Running just isn't my thing.

Claire just liked wearing the medal that he recieved.

At first Claire wouldn't go out into the street to get the candy. She preferred to sit with grandma and watch the parade. I think she was afraid she would get in trouble for being in the road. At home she gets what she thinks is the ultimate punishment if she runs out into the road....she gets sent into the house.

Then when we were able to get her to come out with the other kids and get the candy, she also picked up every candy wrapper that was around us.

Here are some more of my favorite pics...





After the parade and going to the park, we headed down to Delta. Luke has been wanting to go there for the Demolition Derby for several years. It was a great day!
