We had a great time celebrating Independence Day this year again! We love this holiday, it is such a great day to spend time with family and enjoy being outdoors. We started celebrating the night before with taking the boys to cherry hill to swim for a couple hours. Besides freaking Ryland out on the first ride, it was a success and they had a blast. We then went to fireworks at the park that evening. It was great and a good practice run for the boys since they are crazy afraid of fireworks still. It was good to warm them up a bit before the bigger 4th of July show. And nope, no pictures of any of that, so sad. Anyway, we woke up early the morning of the 4th to run the 5k. We also signed the boys up for the kids 1/4 dash. Here we are before the race.
The boys were nice enough to sit great in the stroller while we ran. They were so excited to run their race after ours. They had their numbers on and ready to go before we even ran. So cute!
Before their turn, the boys had to get their stretching on.
Waiting for their turn. How can you not love this pictures, these boys are the best!
Ready to run, the boys are right up front in the center here
Here is a little movie of the starting line. Ryland is on the second row now, in the middle. Cam comes running in with Lance at the end! Love the false start too, ha ha!
And in the mad dash of the finish, I failed at getting a picture of them finishing. I got this gem of Ryland waiting for his ribbon, better luck next year! :)
Lance basically had to run with Cam for the whole time, he wasn't as into as Ryland was, but they both loved it. Here they are after they crossed the finish line.
It was a such a great way to start the morning. We headed out to the parade after the race. The boys were dancing in the street and ended up wining some hula hoops for that one!
Mom and Camden at the parade
Ry and Bryson
And yep again my boys are terrified of the fire trucks and police cars. They ran to the safety of Grandmas lap and plugged their ears. Ha ha!
Cam was basically here for the whole parade, and clearly it helps if Grandma plugs your ears for you! He was super afraid. :)
The boys had a blast watching all the entries in the parade, and getting candy.
Poor Ryland sweats like crazy, he was dripping in sweat by the end of the parade! He tried to stay cool with the little fans they gave us. He loved being fanned off!
We spent the afternoon swimming at Grandmas, playing basketball, a BBQ and of course fireworks. Camden loved helping to hold baby Benson at fireworks, maybe he will like a little brother after all.....we will see!
Ry and Cam tried out their first sparklers as well.
Waiting for fireworks, love these dudes!
And they are off!
Best fireworks show ever, we love it every year! Ryland had such a busy day and the fireworks put him right to sleep. He saw a few minutes of the show!
It was a great day and we love celebrating our freedom. Happy Independence Day!
