Happy 4th of July!

We had a really fun 4th of July! We stayed in Stewie, and enjoyed all of the Summerfest activities! We started the day out with a little running. I ran the 3 mile race with Molly. Even though I slowed her down a bit, we still finished 4th and 5th in our age group! Then Kylie and I ran the Kids Fun Run! I thought this would simply be a short little sprint down the road, but it was actually a 1/2 mile trail run! Kylie did a great job, and even ran about 1/2 of it! After running, Kylie rode the kiddie train, we walked around the park, and ate greasy food for lunch. We enjoyed corn dogs, cheese curds, and mini donuts! YUM! Then we headed home for nap time. In the evening, we enjoyed the parade from the curb of my cousin's house. My mom and dad, the mayor, were in it again. This year they rode on a horse-drawn carriage. Kylie was awesome, and she loved waving at the floats and collecting candy. To cap off our busy day, we drove up to Rochester to our friends' house. The Potter's had their annual Independence Day party for the orthopedic residents. Although most of the families from our class are gone, it was great to say some last good-byes to some of the younger families! We kept our kids up late, but had them in bed just in time to watch the grand finale of the Stewie fireworks show from my parent's deck! It was a crazy, fun, wonderful day!

 We told her she needed to stretch.
She also does this move when we ask her to do gymnastics! :)
