Fourth of July weekend

Saturday, July 3
10 AM- Basin City Parade
There were at least 100 firetrucks from all over Southeastern Washington. The Basin City Fire Chief died fighting a fire last week. It was almost like a memorial for him. It was a little sad. The firetrucks were all at the end of the parade, but lasted much longer than the main part of the parade.

Our family picture for the day :)
5 PM- boating at Levy Landing on Snake River
We got a late start, but had a lot of fun playing in the sand, tubing, and wake boarding. People there: Chris, me, Addysin, Caiden, my dad, my sister Emily, Daryl, Evelyn, and three other work friends. We planned on more of Chris' employees so I bought a bunch of snack food and treats. The Kids ate way too much junk, and Caiden was eating sand along with his Oreos. I COULD NOT keep his hands clean, and he would purposely put his hands in his mouth. I thought "oh well, I tried" and let him eat sand. In the middle of the night he threw up straight chocolate all over his crib. Too much chocolate or too much sand? Its hard to say.

Addysin was picking up handfuls of sand and throwing it into the river for an hour straight. Her swimsuit got ruined by the sand. It is stuck between the pink and the liner-sad.

Of course, Caiden was destroying her castle. She was scalding him saying, "Caiden, Dont! I'm your brother!"

Sunday, July 4

Church, lunch, dinner at Joanna's parents house in Burbank, fireworks at her families.
We watched the show that is shot off a barge on the Columbia River.

Five years ago, Chris walked off the airplane from his mission. Wow, I was so weak in the knees! I REALLY was. We had known each other for 5 years already and finally we were able to date and possibly get married! It was an exciting day. I'm gonna have to make another full post to tell the story so I can always remember it.

Wow, look how young you were in that pic! So cute. Okay, Caiden is funny. I can just see him eating all the sand. I know what you mean about trying then finally giving up. Kennedy eats all sorts of things. Oh well. She's still alive and healthy.
