Independence Day 2009

We got the opportunity to spend another Fourth of July with our good friends Joel and Paula Furnace. They are wonderful hosts and really treated us well (spoiled us) over the weekend. Life has been more than crazy here lately and the opportunity to just sit back and relax with good friends was long overdue. Jack loved the Independence Day parade (1.5 hours long) and quickly learned that if he wore his cute top hat, waived his flags and said ‘Happy Fourth of July’ people would gladly fill his bag with candy. After that we headed over to the festival in search for Jereme’s long awaited roasted corn on the cob and then headed back to the house for nap time. After ‘nap’ (or lack thereof) we headed to the lake where Jack got to ride his first jet ski. The boy’s lack of fear as he gave his Daddy ride after ride at full throttle speed scares me a little bit. Grilling up steaks led to a night sky filled with fireworks and then 4 exhausted adults and 1 tuckered little firecracker crawled into bed for a good nights sleep.
