In celebration of the 4th this year for the first in a long time we participated in the craziness! We ventured downtown to the psycho crowds for the annual parade; this year my parents were in the parade with the Prescott Area Scottish Clan (or something like that, I can never remember their name). So my mom asked if Bubba could be in the parade with them... I couldn't deny him being in it with them (plus then we didn't have to deal with him running around... ulterior motives I know). He had so much fun... I guess for some of the parade he walked and some he rode on the float. I thought we were going to miss them coming but but we got to the front just in time!
Remember to enlarge pictures just click on them!

| He saw me! Some nice man let me scoot in front just to take pictures |
 |
| Getting ready to get started |
 |
| Bye Bubba have fun! |
 |
| Remember the psycho crowds I was telling you about? Well this is just one corner, the entire downtown area was jammed packed like this!! |
 |
| Waiting for Bubba to come in the parade |
After the parade Bubba wanted to participate in the 28th annual Whiskey Row Boot Race! I was so proud that he wanted to do this because I remember doing this as a kid! Granted it was much less crowded and many less kiddos but I was so happy to have him participate, $10 well spent!
 |
| Daddy made sure to show him exactly what to do |
 |
| Getting ready (I could barely see him all the way down there) ~ he is covering his ears (on the right side) he was afraid of the gun |
 |
| And they're off! |
 |
| Come on lil man~ |
 |
| He hesitated |
 |
| I gave him a huge hug |
 |
| Then for some reason all of them returned to the starting line... that was a 1st (kids have never done that before) |
 |
| He looks sad but he really wasn't |
After that fun-filled day we went home and had our friends the Hartwicks join us for some swimming. Sunday was church and cleaning and managed to get in a family walk which was BEAUTIFUL! The monsoons are here and made the weather so beautiful. After our walk we treated Bubba and Peanut to Popsicles (and some major tickling!)
 |
| He was trying to show me his MAD face |
 |
| His monster face |
 |
| His goofy face |
 |
| Goof ball! |
 |
| Daddy got him pinned |
 |
| Poor Peanut got scratched by the kitty |
Now today we did a little shopping (Fry's has awesome sales on everything ~ too bad we didn't get paid this week and could have done our big shopping), ate an awesome lunch (as a family outside), we are going to go swimming (as soon as Peanut gets up from her nap ~ on a side note... Peanut has been the grumpiest I have ever seen her! She is seriously being a butt head! Hope she snaps out of it!), then later tonight we are going over to the Hartwick's house for a bbq and to watch the fireworks!
HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!
