We did alot of fun stuff for the 24th of July this year. We started out by going to the movie in the park. The city did it across the river at the ballpark. We watched 'How to Train Your Dragon'. The whole family went, Stan and Shandy, Kelly, my mom and dad, and all the kids. We set out blankets and camp chairs and had all of our treats ready. Then...as soon as the movie started, my mom and dad got up and headed home. They said they just came to visit with us before the movie. Then they went home and watched the same movie we watched in the park! They are so funny sometimes.
Our next adventure was the Fish Rodeo. They had a man-made pond at the city park and filled it with 500 fish. The kids had to get in and catch the fish with their hands. Some of the kids scooped them up with their baggies. Bad thing about it, there was no catch-and-release. We had to take the fish with us. Kaden wanted to cook his but since it only had one eye, I talked him out of it.
Then we had the 3rd annual Backyard Campout! We had a barbeque, played volleyball, spray painted tie-die T-shirts, shot off fireworks in the front yard, and watched the movie 'Rocket Man' outside. It was great weather this year for sleeping outside.
