4th of July

We had a great 4th...we started out with our little neighborhood bike parade! It just so happened that a police car pulled in behind the end of the parade...we got him to follow the kids with his lights on...that was fun!

Then we went over to Mat & Em's and hung out...ate (Mat cooked on the grill in the blistering heat)...and swam! It is always a good time to hang out with them. A friend of ours from Virginia...Alex...was with us for the whole week before the 4th...it was so much fun having her with us...

Then Aaron and Jason played in a softball double header at Field of Dreams...it is a HUGE baseball park here in Mansfield...which also happens to be where the local celebration and fireworks take place...that was lots of fun...and the 105 temp wasn't TOO bad!

Then we had the best seats in the house for the fireworks! It was a great day!

Not sure whether or not the video will work...but here's a movie I put together of our 4th!
