4th of july

the highlight of the day was playing with sparklers. if you look closely, you can see nicole doing an awesome job of writing her name backwards.

i had to go out on my own for a while when nicole and her twin had to work for a couple hours. :(

all kinds of people were seen that morning in the lineup.

we saw all kinds of cool things in the parade.

early in the morning, i ran the patriot border run. i got a bit cocky from last year, but i ran a faster time and ended up getting third overall.

i know that the 4th was a while ago but hopefully this will help us get a feel for this blogging thing.
