We had such a crazy/fun-filled fourth this year! Had to condense my pictures a bit (only took 150 in 3 days!) but tried to post the ones that captured our weekend best.
Since we have LOADS of people watch "Dr. Bills'" fireworks behind our house on the 3rd, Kaycee and Jackson decided to take advantage of the crowd by opening up their first ever root beer stand. Jas helped make the brew and they did the rest themselves. They certainly weren't shy about vocal advertising....it was borderline harassment. Especially when 3 of their friends came by to help out. The hyperactive sugar induced kids managed to land some customers and made a bit of money (and even a few tips). Even though it didn't prove the most cost-effective activity, they had a ball!
The Lander parade was nice and cool this year and we were so glad Granny and Grandpa drove all the way out here to watch it with us! The kids tried to find the best location to catch all of the airborne candy and did a good job. They collected a bunch.
The best part of the parade is at the end when the firetrucks unleash giant streams of water onto the crowd. This is the first year Kaycee wasn't shy about it at all! She just ran underneath those huge spouts of water and soaked it up....she was soppin wet afterwards!! Lander's version of Seven Peaks!
