This year we not only celebrated 4th of July but also Grandpa’s, Grandma’s, Ada’s and Charlie’s birthdays!
The blue skies and sunshine made our day time fireworks even more fun! The smoke bombs and snakes were great but they just couldn’t compare with Captain America!
When the sun went down then the real fireworks show started…
The past couple of years we have missed our Go 4th celebration at Lake Sacagawea because we’ve been at Bible Camp. But this year we came home on the 1st…
Zack worked at the Young Republican’s booth, so Andy & Will and I decided to head down and check it out.
I had no idea what a big deal this thing is! Area businesses and groups make a boat entirely out of cardboard and duct tape and race them on the lake. There were 47 entries and over 5,000 spectators!
Here are some pics of the races…
some never made it at all… :o(
But everyone had fun and it was neat to see all of the creative talent our community actually has!
I think our favorite part of the day was the food! Andy had Russian food and Will & I had hand-dipped corn dogs, fries, and deep-fried Twinkies. Yum!
Now that’s the way to kick off the 4th of July… :o)
This year I didn’t take any pictures at Bible Camp, but Will and Zack took LOTS! We now have an inside view of what the boys do at Bible Camp… It looks messy and loud!
First a couple of gorgeous nature shots that Will took on the walking trail…
I can’t believe people volunteer for this!
Talent Show…
this girl was very talented and flexible!
Some of the kids/adults were very talented! Other things I didn’t realize were talents??? ;o)
I’m not sure what this game is but I had a LOT of pictures of it to go through!
