Independence Day 2008

Well, we had a fun day. My church had their 2nd Annual 4th of July party. We got there about 6:30 and staked out our spot to see the fireworks later on. It wasn't hot out like it had been last year (it was terrribly hot) but there was a theat of a storm a brewing. Anway, the church had food like, hotdogs, nachos, cupcakes, popcorn, and we brought a watermelon and some friends brought some homemade mango icecream.

We had one of our local Christian radio stations there, Love 89.1 which made it nice as we didn't have them there last year. Also, this year they had different characters there for the kids. There was Mickey and Minnie Mouse



there was Elmo



there was also Dora, Blues Clues, and Bryce's all time favorite Spiderman!! I took him to go and see him but it scared him and he took off running. Later, he must have got his courage up and decided he wanted to go and talk to him. So, we found him and Bryce told him that he could shoot spiderwebs and could jump real high just like him. He never would get really close to him but I was able to get this one picture.



My little cousin Lolly came with us and it was great that she was there to help me watch Bryce because the place was packed and he was running around like a little banshee. It was getting around 9pm and the wind picked up something awful and it started thundering and lightning. I think we all must have prayed for God to stop the storm from coming because it never got any closer. So, we had our firework show.





All in all it was a great day! And I am so thankful to be an American!!!
