Our Happy 4th!

We had a great holiday week! We were able to spend time with both families. We saw most of Joe's family on Tuesday (see previous posts) and some again on Friday morning at the movies. We watched Kung Fu Panda and the kids thought it was good. After the movies we stopped by Arby's for lunch and then headed over to my parent's house. After hanging out for a little while we were joined by Erin and her family and Scott and his kids. We were all able to visit and then most of us went swimming. After swimming we returned for dinner.
We saw two firework shows on our way home. The first show was at the Peoria Sports Complex. We watched it from one of the gas stations on Bell. It was good but the second one was way better. The second show was out here is Surprise at the ballpark. As we were driving past the show we got to see exactly where the fireworks were being launched from. It was so cool! We then pulled over on a side street to watch the rest. We could hear every bang and boom and feel the ground rumble.
I would say it was a great day!
