Fourth of July Fun

This year Kris and Abi started our Fourth of July off a little differently.  Abi challenged Kris to run a 5K this summer and so they signed up for our Firecracker Fun Run.  They had trained hard this summer so at 7:00 am not even the nervous butterflies could keep them down. 

Sprinting to the finish line.  

Abi set the pace and Kris stayed with her the whole time.  They clocked in at 28:30, a personal best for Abi. 

After a little rehydration and some breakfast we got these two showered and then were off to the parade and a BBQ at a friend's house.

We had another BBQ out at Nana and Papa Fife's house before the fireworks.  We loaded everyone up and headed downtown to watch the fireworks over the river.  Eva was not too impressed but the rest of us Oohed and Ahhed. 

On Saturday we joined up with the Meek Clan for another BBQ and our backyard fireworks.  This is Kris's favorite part.  We really had quite the show this year.

The sparklers captivated Eva.  Kris had a hard time keeping them out of her reach.
