Independence day!

The Centerville Parade- Much more crowded this year than I remember from my childhood. But they still throw candy- so it was all good! At the carnival Peyton won a goldfish at the bean bag toss- the guy in charge let him stand really close...

So now we have a goldfish named "Sammy" ?? So far the fish is still alive, although Peyton was upset it couldn't sleep in his bed with him...

Family BBQ- So much fun! Family and Freedom are what this holiday is all about, and it was great fun with my two boys! Peyton was in love with the fireworks and kept asking
"can we do it again?" "will you light another one?"

Happy Independece Day!!
