I know this is late but I had to post about one of my favorite holidays. The 4th of July!!!
This year my parents went on a bike trip so we were about to tend Shyannne an Stetson Thursday night to Saturday. So on Friday as you can see we went fishing!
Shyanne and Stetson have not caught a fish before so we were really hoping they could catch one. However Trent was the only lucky one this time!
Teaching Stetson how to fish.
Funny Story; Once I was fishing I reeled in my line and it came up with moss on the hook, so I splashed the water to get it off and on the second time my jake (hook) came off. We had just bought those jakes, and they were not cheep. It might sound crazy but we spent the next 20 min looking for that jake. We tried to get Stetson to get in the water. He was on the edge of the dock trying to decide if he wanted to get in or not, and Trent and I kept urging him in. He just points at me and says, "You," and then points at Trent, "And you, just back away." We all just started laughing. Stetson ended up not getting in the water, but we happened to see it at the last second, Trent grabbed our second fishing pole and with the jake attached to that one grabbed our lost jake in the water! We say it was all worth it! (hahaha)
That night we had a campfire in our backyard and did sparklers. Stetson being a wizard!
The three of us. We love when they come to stay with us!
Saturday was the 4th!!! So grateful to live in this beautiful country, and for those who have sacrificed for our freedoms!
It's weird. If you live on state street strangers pile in front of your house to watch the parade. So we kind of got booted out of our seats that we had saved a couple days before. I even had someone ask to use my restroom. Lets just say its a little awkward! But we made the best of it! We loved Spending the day with these guys!
First parade.
Grandpa, Haizlee, and Heston in the rocking chair on our front porch!
Katie had to leave early to go to a dinner with her family, and we wanted to do sparklers. It wasn't dark yet, but you could at least see a little bit of it. As you can see Heston loved it!!!
