Parade

We all gathered for the parade downtown. This was the 125th Birthday of Great Falls. Everyone had a great time. The kids got free pop, candy and ice cream.

Of course you can't have a 4th of July without food. After the parade we gathered for dinner at Sabrina's house. Besides salads, I brought a brownie cake covered with cream cheese/whip cream frosting and fruit. Of course it had to look like a flag.

Hail Storm

We had quite the hail storm. Aiden is trying to collect hail with a jug and finally gets a larger pail. If you look closely you can see hail in Taylor's hair and on the deck.

Water, Water, Everywhere

We didn't have to go to the lake for the 4th because Mother Nature provided one for us. After the hail storm the rain just poured and the results was a flooded street. The kids had a ball running up and down in the water and of course throwing as much water on each other as they could.

4th of July Fireworks

After dinner we all gathered outside where Riley, Aiden, and Taylor with the help of Tim put on a great fireworks show.Tanealya isn't pictured because she put her fireworks in the launching cylinder upside down and we all learned what is was like to stand next to a bomb. What an
explosion!!!! Thanks Sabrina and Tim we had a great time.

An Evening with the Kids

We finally have nice weather. Sabrina and Tim both worked tonight so we got to have the kids. The kids helped prepare Chicken Enchiladas for dinner and after a walk to the park we had homemade ice cream sundaes for dessert.

Then the kids played in the front yard.

Aiden loves Papa throwing him in the air.

Papa, Riley, and Aiden played football. Soon Taylor joined in.

The challenge was on between Taylor, Aiden, and Riley to see who could stand on their head the
longest.

We all had lots of fun.

Father's Day

Tavein mowed the lawn while we were at Emma's and Olivia's birthday and decided that he needed a new one. So she called her siblings and told them about her idea. The kids went together and got their dad a new lawn mower. He thought it was a great gift and says thank you to all of his kids.

Here's wishing all you fathers a great Father's Day.
