4th of July

As the kids get older, the holidays get more fun. They had a great 4th. We started the day by going to the Parade downtown (I forgot the camera). Carson and Madelyn got a load of candy thrown at them. They loved it. We then spent the rest of the day with our neighbors Mike, Michelle and their daughter Paige. Carson and Paige have been friends for a long time and had a great time letting off fireworks.
