Saturday morning we got up and went to the Plano city parade. It was pretty lame, but the kids loved it and the adults had a good time laughing at the floats (or lack there of), the old man riding his bike in shorts that were shorter than I would wear, and all the Texas churches. Have I ever told you how many different churches there are in Texas? Alot! Our favorite at the parade was definitely the Cowboy Church. After the parade we went and let the kids run around at the play place in the mall and later that night we had a BBQ.
Sunday we went to church and had a yummy dinner at Ed and Xela's house. That night we went to the city fireworks which definitely were a part of budget cuts. They were pretty lame and short and definitely not worth the hour and a half it took to get home. Again the kids loved it so it always makes it better.
Monday we spent the day at the pool again and enjoyed Freebirds and Mooyah for Dinner.
It was a great weekend with family. The kids are all more than worn out and in need of some really good naps. I love the 4th of July and am so grateful for everything it represents.
I do have to say that the 4th of July is one of the only things besides Family/Friends I miss about Utah. Hands down Provo/Orem best place to be on the 4th.

I can't believe how old Boston is getting, he is definitely a little boy now. I went to Nordstrom yesterday as they are getting ready for the anniversary sale and it reminded me of you and our days there. Can you email me your new home address to alihenrie@yahoo.com?
Looks like fun! I agree Provo/Orem is the place to be on the 4th!
