We had a great 4th of July!! We started out at Pratt Falls for the church picnic. It was beautiful and fun with lots of friends and good food. Towards the end Oliver, Bryant and I took off on our bikes to ride home. Jeff stayed behind with the other boys to hike to the waterfall, then come pick up Oliver and Bry. We didn't think they would make it the entire way. They did great and went about 3 or 4 miles. Bryant was ready to be done when Jeff caught up to us. He had to work the hardest having the smallest wheels and no gears. Oliver wanted to go on despite a spill and road rash on his knee. He made it about half mile more until his pedal fell off. I guess it got hit on the wipe out. Jeff was still hanging around so it wasn't too big a deal. He picked up Oliver and took the boys home, while I continued on. It was a great ride.
That evening we headed over to our friends the Riddels for more food, good times & company. Debbie makes some awesome baked beans. The boys played ball and in the hammock having a blast. In the end we headed out to put the two littlest in bed and watch the fireworks at the fairgrounds from the backyard. Too bad the trees had grown over the last two years and our view isn't quite as good as it once was.
