4th of July

For the 4th of July (again no family around to celebrate with) we always go to the Coeur d'Alene parade. This year the parade was rather boring. There were a few fun floats but the worst one was a local coffee shop "Dutch Bros" was handing out energy drinks to ANYONE including kids. What in the world. A friends kids got one but I told my kids absolutely not. Then we went to our ward 4th of July party at our Elders Quorum Presidents home. The kids had a blast.

 This float was not exactly a float. It was so funny They were the ones that started the parade. It was a radio station. they were a bunch of the staff members dressed in dresses and with walkers dancing to a newer song. I so wish I could have gotten it on video.

 Batman came to Coeur d'Alene. The kids and Daniel got a kick out of this.

 This was at our Ward Picnic. They had face painting that the YW did. Natalie was all over that idea. Corbin not so much. The girl in the picture is Jordan Fuhr. Natalie and Corbin love her to pieces.

 This is Natalie all decked out in face paint. She has a rainbow in her forehead, heart on both cheeks, she had some on her hands but I can't remember what they were.

Then we came home that night got kids ready for bed and lite off fireworks and let the kids do sparklers. They were so excited.
