4th of july

after the fun, fun parade, we came home and hung out for awhile on the 4th. in the late afternoon we went over to the bakers for dinner. the thelens and haights came over too. we had lots of american themed foods. just kidding... i don't even know what that means...nothing is really from america. maybe corn? we did have corn on the cob. misty made fried pickles and saige made delicious macaroni and cheese and we made flag dessert kabobs. yum. 

after dinner we drove out to maltby with the bakers to watch fireworks. we met up with the kreitlows (who just moved to maltby!) and the kings in a field to watch fireworks that were put on by a local church. i was skeptical, BUT they were SO good. the show was so long and it was right in front of our faces! i do not even know how that church could afford so many big fireworks, but i was impressed. and i loved that it wasn't super, crazy crowded and we didn't have to arrive three years in advance to get a good spot. we will probably, for sure go to maltby for fireworks for the rest of our days. in conclusion, we had a great fourth of july, which is good because now there are no good holidays until halloween (the BEST holiday) which is forever away. gah. happy birthday america!!!
