s year we had a very busy 4th. We were so excited that Jeremiah was home the whole day. We started off our morning at 6 am. to go watch the hot air balloons. The kids were very nervous by all the sound but once all the balloons were in the air they got very excited. 
We then made our way to the Parade. The kids like it a lot. We wer
e sad not to see much candy but they were really excited to see Bob the Builder. They were very well behaved during the whole time. We then made our way home for a well needed nap. After which we went to Seven Peaks to swim the heat away. William went down one of the big all by himself and Michael asked Daddy to take him down one of the kids slides.
We then made our way to the carnival down town. There wasn't much there to do with out paying a lot of money but we did get to see some cultural dancing. We then went and saw the big fireworks then we set off our own little fire works. The boys even got brave enough to hold the sparklers. It was a very fun day and a great memory maker.
