July 4th

Happy 4th of July!  We enjoyed a great day with lots of family!  We started at the Woodstock parade with Grandpa, Grandma, Nana, Pop-Pop, Auntie Sarah, Uncle Christian, Maxim, cousin Jenny, and Christopher.  The parade was fun; the kids seemed to enjoy it.  They always like any excuse to see firetrucks :)  It was hot and sweaty, but fun nonetheless.  There was also a festival of sorts where Ryan jumped in a bounce house and we bought Abby a home-made pillow dress.  We lunched at Moe's and then rested up in the afternoon in prepartion for fireworks.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't very cooperative.  We met up with our friends James, Rachel, and Jake at Dairy Queen before heading out to find our spot for Canton's firework show.  But the rain never let up, so sad!  We had three cars of friends & family and yet we were never able to get out and visit.  But we didn't give up and the fireworks went off in the rain.  A few got lost in the clouds, but overall we had a decent show.  Ryan and Abby loved the show, even from within the car.  I suppose it's good they don't know what a real fireworks show looks like!  While not the best fireworks ever, certainly a memorable one.  Happy Birthday America!
