::lvd::

This past weekend was a little celebration in Matt's home town.
There are activities all week (golf tournament, service project, beauty pageant, etc.)

We participated in a few of the Saturday activities..

First was the Dam Race
4.7 miles around this little beauty...

...see the lake way out there? We ran around that. Such a pretty dam run!!

Papa's time: 37:30 (WOW!!)
Mine: 56.33
Grandma's: about 5 minutes after mine-not sure of her "official" time


After the race, we went to the parade.
It's a teeny town, so the parade is teeny too. They throw candy for the kids and it's just fun.
cute little cousins :)


waiting for it


oh! the candy!! (this is Port's pile)

After the parade, we went swimming
Matt was working on his parents' shed all day (I'll add a pic of that later)



To end the day, we watched some fireworks.

the kids LOVE ridin' our fourwheeler (they took this down to the fireworks)

Coopie at the fireworks (he fell asleep later)

some glowsticks (of course)


Chloe and Keely ;) Aren't they pretty little cousins??

the fireworks


those red dots are the men lighting the fireworks just across the street. It's SO fun watching the fireworks up there 'cause we can be so close. They're so LOUD & so HUGE!

Fun, BUSY weekend. One of our favorite Summer traditions. Glad we got to go. Glad we got to see everyone :)

I see you've been hanging out with Asays long enough to pick up the jokes! The Dam jokes sound just like Uncle Kev! I love small town activities too. They're so fun!
