A busy 4th!

It was the first time we were home to celebrate the 4th. While we missed being with family we definitely had a great day! In the morning we headed to the parade downtown. You know that you are in a military town when fighter jets flying in formation and a blackhawk started off the parade. The kids enjoyed the parade despite the fact that it was 2 hours long and they didn't get as much candy because the city wouldn't allow anybody to throw it. We then headed home to enjoy some BBQ ribs and all the fixings with friends. Later on after friends left we attempted to go meet some more friends by the river for fireworks and got rained out. We ended up going home and the rain cleared so we stopped by Gracie's best friends house where the kids enjoyed helping light lots of fireworks(yes they were very safe).....and we had a perfect view of the town fireworks. Montana is absolutely amazing for the fourth because every where you look you can see big fireworks going off...in parking lots.....all over the street....it was so funny and foreign for us.
