Well, June and July brought lots of fun. The kids just had a great time playing outside. It's so fun to see them be able to enjoy the outdoors a bit more AND I don't have to worry about any busy streets! They can play in the front, back, wherever. It takes some getting used to, but we're enjoying it.
One of the fun things we did was to enjoy the hometown 4th of July parade. The kids thought it was great. For my big city friends this will give you a sense of where we live. We have local 'hot rods', otherwise known as race cars, and tractors in our parade. :) We even had "Herbie" going through the streets of Middleton. The best part was at the end. You will see (almost see) a firefighter at the top of the ladder on the truck. As the firetrucks go throughout the parade they randomly turn on their fire hose and spray the spectators. This picture is basically at the end of the parade and it became a fun water war between the firefighters driving through the parade and the one on the ladder. Even the person on the ladder was not dry when all was said and
done. It was fun to see a small town having a great time and what's a little water when it's a hot summer day! That evening we had a fun celebration with family and lit off some fireworks out in our field. Last year we had more than sparklers and this year had to be just as good, thanks to my family members. Let's just say we're glad our neighbors still like us after only being here a few months!
