4th of July 2011

This is a long over due post, but this was how the Barber Family spent the 2011 Fourth of July weekend.

It all started Friday night with the camp out, and since I am at the end of this pregnancy, and not a big fan of camping,

I volunteered Todd to set the tent up and sleep in the backyard with the kids.

Saturday we took the family to Crest Creek where we enjoyed a nice little nature hike.

 On Monday we spent the day in Menan watching Todd play in a softball tournament, watching the parade and playing some of the games they had  in the park.

 In between games Bailey liked giving Todd makeovers.

Of course the Fourth of July would not be same if we didn't get the horse out to ride. 

 After a long fun day of family and friends, we all went down to the river to enjoy the fireworks. Karson, Kambree. and Bailey wanted to watch the fireworks from on top of the car. They were loving life up there until the actual show started and then....

 Karson ended up in a chair next me.

 (I do have to point out that he did watch the fireworks this year.) This was him last year if you look closely he is inside the truck. I love this kid he is always so tough but when it comes to fireworks he is like a scared little puppy who still needs his mom.

and the girls ended up in Todds lap.

Thanks to Jessica and Branden we ended the day with sparklerers.

 I'm glad that we have this holiday to get together with family and friends to celebrate the blessing we have of living in this free country.
