4th of July

(Ryann with her hand on her heart, as the American Flag went by.)

This year we spent my favorite holiday, in one of the best places around, Sevier Couny (particularly Aurora).  We started the day out by taking Ryann to the Richfield parade, lucky us we have connection, and had an excellent spot saved for us, Thanks Maradee!.  Ryann loved watching the parade, hearing the LOUD sirens, and picking up the candy.  Ryann did have a hard time understanding why some of the floats that went by didn't through her any candy, she would come and "Tell on them". I would have to tell her that not every float can throw candy, it worked and she was over it until the next time.   I think most of all Ryann enjoyed being with her cousins, especially her Gracy.

 

Ryann loves this girl!!

 

 After the parade, Anthony and I took her over to the Salina, for their festivities.  Ryann was super excited, she went on the bouncy house, did the obstacle course, threw a bing bang (and got a prize), and stood inside of a bubble.  

 

We then went and had a picnic and swim party at Papa and Granny's.  After that we went to the Salina parade with the Sampson clan, and had a BBQ with them after.  As far as fireworks go, well it consisted of Ry and I watching them from Granny's living room window, with Ryann off an on requesting to go to bed.  Not sure why, but the girl is not fond of the fireworks.

It was an AWESOME 4TH OF JULY!!!
