Happy 4th of July!

Here are some photos of 4th of July 2008. It was just us this year. My mom and dad and my sister Stacey's family spent the week in Ennis with my sister Jamie's family. It was sad that we all couldn't be together. We did have a nice weekend though. It was really laid back. After the parade we went to Riverside Park ad spent time partaking in the festivities. These are some of the pictures. The girls got to paint on a big cardboard display which was sponsored by the Custer County Art Center. They were supposed to paint what the 4th of July meant to them. After that we wandered around. There were tons of booths setup with food and games. We ate some cotton candy, jumped in theblow-up thing (not sure what you call it), played with Coach Mcauliffe's parrot named Petri and finally sat down for some lunch. We ate lunch which was sponsored by the Baptist Church and the VFW. We also got to listen to some music from local artists while we ate our lunch. It really was fun and the girls had a blast.
