4th of July

So we had a great time in Richfield on the 4th. We wait all year long for the fourth to come. For Mikes family, (and I think most of the people in Richfield) the fourth of July is thier favorite holiday. Mike and his family love the 4th more than Christmas. So of course we were so excited this year because Wade is a little bit older and he was able to partisipate more. But then half way to Richfield I realized i forgot my camera. Oh well, I am sure Mikes mom will post some pictures soon. Anyways, we had so much fun. At six AM the canons boomed and all the kids got up. It was so fun. Their is just this excitment in the air it is awesome. We went to the parade at nine and Wade loved it. He got so much candy. Then to the park for some kiddie races. Wade ran so fast and got himself a shiny 50 cent piece at the finish line. He loved it. We thought that Wade might want to do the fish grab this year. When he first saw the water and the fish swimming in it he wanted to do it. But as soon as they blew the wissel and all the kids jumped in and started grabing fish he got scared. It's ok, maybe next year. Then we headed up to Antimony to the King family reunion. We watched the fire works over the Otter Creek resevore. It was pretty awesome. Mike almost blew up the Lake with some home made bombs. He loves to do fire works. It was pretty awesome though. Mike would light the fire work and throw it in the lake. When it blew up it sent a huge wall of water into the air. Everyone cheered. It was neet. We had a great 4th and look forward to next year.
