4th of July Weekend

This is way late and I don't have any pictures unfortunately! I really need to work on using that camera of ours. Anyways, we had a lot of fun hanging out with our families and participating/watching all the activities.

On the 3rd, all of Rocky's family was able to be here. When Court, Krin, & Elsie got here, we were able to go swimming at the pool for a little bit. There I found out about my high school Alumni game scheduled for that night so after swimming and a snack, I went down to play in the game. Highlight of the game: I hit a homerun over the fence!!! That is still one of the best feelings ever! Court also took a shot at the homerun derby and hit 2 out! It was crazy because the fence he hit it over was extremely far back there!!! When we got back to the house, Court grilled steaks and we lit off bottle-rockets! The steaks were great and lighting off the bottle-rockets was tons of fun!

Now for what we did on the 4th: we started out watching the parade in M-town. It seemed extremely long. Rocky rode along with one of his buddies in the parade on a golf cart for 3/4 of the parade. He had fun with that. Elsie was super cute! She started out wearing her sunglasses upside-down because that was more comfortable to her. She got loads of candy too!

After the parade, we lounged around for a bit then headed down to the Welling Reunion/4th of July Celebration. It was awesome to see everyone and to chit-chat about upcoming events! The bbq lunch was also very tasty!

After eating, it was time for us to head out to SnoTown for the parade and dinner out there! Unfortunately we didn't have time to play volleyball. Hopefully next year. Anyways, the parade was small but great as usual! Varcy & Mom were in the parade riding the 4-wheeler! They had their little puppy Buddy riding with them too! They were so cute!

After the parade, we hung out at the house for a little bit then came back down for dinner and chatted with some old friends. It was a lot of fun and dinner was really good too!
When it was almost dark, we headed back over to M-town to watch the fireworks with Beef (Brady) and his wife Kara. The fireworks were good but I think I had more fun lighting off bottle-rockets the night before! :)

Overall, it was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun hanging out with everybody!
