4th of July

I'm a little behind, but I should get caught up soon, since we finally have the internet at our house. For the 4th of July weekend, we went camping. We spent one night in Orrin and Georgia's trailer, and the next night we came home and slept at our house. Macee did great, but the second night Parker was having a rough time, so we just decided to come home and sleep in our own beds since we were only camping about 15 min from home. We had a lot of fun, as you can see in the pictures. Uncle Ben was helping the kids get in the tonka dump truck and riding it down the hill with Charlie the dog chasing them down. Parker and AJ were filthy dirty. They were throwing dirt on each other and laughing their heads off. Macee just hung out in the trailer sleeping the days away. On the 4th we came back into town and had a BBQ with my family and then let Parker run in the kids races at the church. He ran fast and won. He was pretty excited about his dollar, he wanted to by an icee with it. I didn't get pictures of the best part however. We talked grandpa Bill into running in the 18 and up race, and he tripped over his own feet right at the beginning. Then we talked him into doing the piggyback race with Parker. He grabbed Parker off the grass and closelined him on the rope, but grandpa didn't even know Parker was crying. Then he raced and was going so fast they went head over teakettle at the finish line and Parker was crying even more. It was super funny and gave everyone a good laugh for the day. Grandpa Bill is a good sport. To finish the races off, Reece and Grandpa Bill did the wheel barrow race and almost won. To finish the night, we had grandma and grandpa Staheli over and lit fireworks. Parker thought they were too loud, but still liked them.
