Forth of July was a bittersweet day for me. I loved having Brad and the kids together and my dad's house but I also knew the next day we were going to have to leave, however making the best of it is easy to do when kids are around so we did...Micah and GrandPaul started the day by putting up the flag out of all my kids, Micah has a connection with this country's history, so it meant a lot to him to be able to put the flag up with my dad who is an Army guy.
The rest of the day was filled with water slides (as previously seen in the other post), boat rides and food. Of course everyone under 5 foot tall was very anxious for sparklers...they had a blast, well bad choice of words they had a ball!

The night ended with a few mosquito bites, a lot of fire works, and a great tribute to our troops with a lantern. I was too busy staring at it to get a picture but it was beautiful!
The next day we were on the road for our trip across North Dakota to Montana. Our main stop was at my grandparents house and my Uncle John was there visiting so seeing him was definitely a bonus.
It was so good to see the three of them, hopefully next year we can stay a bit longer...
After time at Grandma and Grandpa's house we left for Grandpa Wes's home, we were definitly anxious to get out of the car...

We got to spend to spend 4 days with Wes and we had a blast. Starting with a birthday party for Micah and me, it was fun and Brielle and Ruth loved having little cousins around.
