4th of July

I'm sorry for the delay in posting the 4th. It was a very busy day. We started bright and early cheering on runners in the annual 10k. They ran just one block form my parents house so we walked up enjoyed the cool morning. Notice where we chose to sit, we got wet, if you know what I mean?!There's our runner friend, Tammy. (aka- Mother Fox)Scott was so concerned about all the cups on the ground. Uh,Oh... Uh,Oh...Uh,Oh. Then when we weren't paying attention to him it was more of a OH, NOOOO... OH, NOOOO!!!Then over to the park for a trip down memory lane. My dad used to take my sisters and me to the same "secret tunnel". There's Hank and Mini !They love it! Look at Amelia's fancy Nordstrom shoes in the water. (glad their from Last Chance)Papa showed the kids how to leap over the creek.Somehow they all ended up IN the creek.Check out Mini's leaping skills.Hanker was a natural in the H2O.Scott didn't want anyone to help him...After that, the Fox kids came over to say hello and have some scones.Then off to North Liberty for a great afternoon with aunts, uncles and cousins. Our cousins Katie and Chad hosted and their backyard is PERFECT for kids.
Aunt Letha, Karoline, Cousin Katie, Nanny, Haddie, Kers, and Cousin Karla.
See what I mean.

Check the video. http://uncutvideo.aol.com/users/iowak/dcdb8fbf9d4c7377db3063088fb45ed1?index=1Papa found a cool spot in the shade. The cousins eating dinner. Cameron, Soren, Sissy and June.

Then we drove back to CR in time for the Freedom Festival fireworks.
Amelia, Scotty and Uncle Lee took a rest at the end of the night. It was one great day.

Great pics as always KT! The Beve ones are my favorite. Is there still that flat cement part that was always slippery from the green moss?

Well, we're all coming up next year for the 4th - it looks better than the field...

Okay Katie, I'm asking you to cease and desist posting all these pictures. Shawn started looking up homes last night. :-0

If no one else is going to be honest, I will. It looks like you guys didn't have ANY fun, what with the grass, creek, slide, swing, kid pool, etc. LAME-O! Sorry for you...
