Happy Birthday America!!!

To start off this holiday which is truly my most favorite, Brandon made us a yummy French toast(French??? ha ha) and egg breakfast. Later on, we had a fried chicken lunch and headed off for a family bike ride with our new bike trailer. The twins sat in the trailer, Gavin rode in a little seat on the back of my bike and Tanner rode his own bike-what a big kid! We had hopes of heading up to the canyon, but we like to work around Gavin's nap, so we'll do that another day. It just makes for a happier day! Someday, it will be fun to go to the parade, but there is a time and a season for everything...and this is not the time! Later on, we invited my Mom over and Brandon worked some grill magic and grilled chicken, hot dogs and corn on the cob and we had strawberry shortcake for dessert. Yum! Later on, we headed off to watch the big fireworks. Tanner was pretty disappointed about missing our own little "cul-de-sac of fire" show that all the neighbors do, but we loved the big fireworks and the kids had a great time with cousins and the fireworks were so beautiful!
