I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th!!! We had a fun one ourselves! As usual, our day was very busy. Starting with the parade at 10, from there all the activites in the park which included the turtle race, Mr Muscle and Miss Tiny Tot, and free swimming at the pool. Of course DeLeta and I did our annual Bingo at the activity center, where we both won some awesome prizes. And to wrap it up, fireworks and a street dance.
Here are Avery, Hunter, and Nevaeh waiting for the parade to start...
The turtle race was in-conclusive, or so we are calling it, due to too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. The race was started by one leader, and two more come along and said they were re-starting it. A lot of parents and children were mad, and so many left. Hunter won his first race... then his short go, and was in the finals, when 'things' were changed. So we restarted. He won his first race again. But during his second, too many people waving arms and such, startled his turtle, and about 8 inches from the finish line, he got scared and stopped. Poor Hunter was not happy!
Hunter and his turtle eyeing the other competition...
Just a few pics from the fireworks... I do have video to upload of the turtle race, and from Hunter's favorite fire cracker experience. Maybe tonight or tomorrow... My disclaimer on the following pics; we were all tired, sweaty, and ready for bed when these pics were taken... I'll be posting again soon, have a great Thursday! 
DeLeta snapped this of me while trying to open one...
Hunter kept us busy opening while he lighted them!
One cheesy family pose, can you tell Hunter was getting more than tired?

Turtle race.... thats so neat. Seems like it would take a while for the turtles to get to the end. It looked like you all had a very Long day. Your family picture is so cute.
I would so love to have a turtle race!!! None of those around here though. Glad you guys had a great 4th of July
