4th Fest

This years 4th of July celebration was full of fun once again but we did miss Jeff, Lisa and Nate.  I guess we'll let it slide since you were birthing little Ryan!!  It all started in the morning with the firecracker 4k.  There were six of us running this year:  Emma, Anna, Ella, Jenny, Jeff and me!  I had a blast running with the girls and they did great!!  A big congrats goes to Jenny as she finished 2nd in her age group.  I love how it has become a part of our 4th of July tradition.  After that it was off to our house to celebrate and then to fireworks.  Here are some pics from throughout the day. 

 We also got to celebrate Clint's 3rd birthday. 
  Happy Birthday Clint!

Grandma gave Grant his first real textured food.  She gave him a veggie straw and he took right to it.  We now have a stock of puffs and cheerios that he is enjoying.  Just had to share this picture of him!! Thank you Aunt Amy for letting us borrow the hat!!!

After all the fun and festivities at our house it was off to see the big show.  Everyone was pretty excited except the two youngest.

All the kids did great and weren't afraid of the fireworks.  We really thought they might scare Grant but he just slept right through them!

Thanks everyone for another great 4th.

THANK YOU both for the great 4th!!

I love that that holiday has become the State College tradition! It is so nice to have everyone together at your place.

I really can't thank everyone enough for all the help in getting camp set up, and also in making it a special celebration for Clint. Jen for the great crafts, and you and Jeff for the gear and all the amazing food. You really outdid yourselves!!

We are already looking forward to next year!! :):)

Those pictures of Grant are PRICELESS!!!! You got great shots of all the kids. In the color shot of Grant you can tell he is pretty used to dad sticking that big old lens in his face :) So worth it. You will cherish those pictures!!
