Our Forth of July weekend started out with a lot of fun. We had a Christiansen family BBQ in our back yard and then watched the fireworks in Centerville. Jack was in a bad mood because all he wanted me to do was buy him a light up lightsaber, but we already have too many toy weapons at our house we don't need any more. Cameron was cute and was so tired he fell asleep as the first fireworks were starting but he woke up and as long as he was being held really close he was ok.
The next morning was the Centerville parade which is always a lot of fun. Jack loves collecting the candy and Cam loved eating it.
We headed up to Eden for the weekend and participated in the Liberty Days on Monday the 4th. They do a lot of small town fun like mutton busting, a greased pig chase, and a chicken run. With the pig and chicken the kids all lined up and whoever chased it town and held it was given the chicken or pig as the prize. The mutton busting is where kids ride on the sheep and the sheep come out of a gate and the kids just try to hold on. Most don't make it 5 feet, it is crazy to watch.
Here is Jack getting a ride on the caterpillar being pulled by a riding lawn mower.
Cam enjoying something cool to drink.
Jack and his cousins riding in the little parade that began all the festivities. It was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun with family and friends.
