Independence Day

This year we spent July 4th with Matt's family in Grantsville. We met at Uncle Mark's place & headed over to the parade. And, oh my, what a parade it was! Only in Grantsville would you find a parade that consisted of John Deere's, a Walmart big rig, 20 fire engines, floats promoting every gas station in town, bands comprising 15 members, a {small} horse pulling a {large} woman, and {my favorite} the Abstinence float......"First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, Then Comes The Baby- Our Pride=Abstinence". Gotta love it!

The kids had fun catching candy, and Jackson and Mark bonded while watching the horse procession.




After the parade it was back to Mark's house for buffalo burgers, rides in the Rhino with April, and some saddle fun.




Next, we all piled in the camo truck for a ride to see Mark's buffalo. Boy, were they big! We couldn't get too close because they had babies, so we took photo-op's from afar and drove around to find the horses.




Mark could not wait to get Jackson on a horse. Jackson was loving it, even when he almost went for a ride and Uncle Mark had to save him! Lincoln and Kensie were excited to sit on the horse, too.




After Grantsville and a little nap we went to the Holbrook's for firework fun! All the kids were so excited, and would cheer {or boo if it was not up to their standards} after each firework.

It was a fun-filled day, and as always we loved celebrating our country's freedom as well as EIGHT years of remission for Matt! Hazzaaa!!
