4th of July!

This 4th of July was one of the funnest the boy have had! 
It started with Mclane getting to sleep out in G&G Fischers yard in a tent with Alex and Uncle Steve.
(both boys slept through the cannons) 
After we got up and had breakfast mommy sat and decorated bikes for the boys to ride in the parade!

Off they go, Tavin was so excited to ride that he did the whole parade in record time so he turned around and did it again!
Mclane and Alex were a bit more content to stay with the crowd
Poor Alex was so nervous to ride but he bucked up and did it!!

That evening I talked the boys into the mutton busting part of the kiddie rodeo. Tavin was all for riding a sheep, until he thought about falling off after we said he could have a helmet he was ready to go again.
The after of Tavins ride, he was quite upset because after he fell off the sheep's foot caught him in the chin but after some loving he was ok!
Mclane needed a bit more convincing to ride but once he talked to his dad on the phone he was ready to ride. His ride went a lot better than Tavins and I think I may have a future bull/bronc rider!

Later that evening we lit fire works in front of G&G's house till it was time to go watch the big fire works. Thanks to Aunt Meggie for bringing tons of sparklers for the boys to run around with!
I think they enjoyed those more than the fire works!
Hope everyone else had as fun a 4th of July as we did!
