Happy Fourth of July

What a wonderful holiday! Food, fireworks, parades, family, and a little break from work. Owen, Bosty, and I ventured out to see the Summerlin Parade early Saturday morning(well not too early I did watch the whole ARG vs GER match and needed something happy following the loss). We arrived a bit late, but were able to snag a few great seats right along the parade route and enjoyed a full hour of floats, ballons, and crazy costumes. The parade was well done, and I am happy we went. It didn't have quite the charm of Richfield's, but a good way to spend your saturday morning:) Plus the kiddies thought is was enchanting! Woody & Buzz, Wiz OZ, Darth Vader&Co, and a few otter pops made our morning. Owen is still talking about the parade, and how Darth Vader's storm trooper gave him a high five. I think they were in awe of a 2 year old clapping and cheering for Darth, but that's my boy and I appreciated the extra attention he got:)

I am grateful to the founding fathers of our country for their sacrifice and courage. Church was really wonderful today, religious freedoms are such a blessing. We watched the fireworks from Redrock Casino on the roof top of Grandpa Kurt's office, it was a beautiful ending to a great day!
