More 4th of July

Spencer is "racing" his neighbor friend, Ethan, through this obsticle course. Spencer likened himself to a Gladiator.
Spencer was so excited to dunk Mike. Mike is one of our neighborhood firefighter friends. Spencer wants to be a Firefighter when he grows up. Just like Mike and Mr. Knowles. Mr. Knowles (Jeff) lives behind us and Mike hangs out next door to us. Spencer is fascinated by these men.
Brittyn dunked Mike without any "help". They were a little nervouse about getting too close to the tank 'cause they new Mike would "cool" them off.
As you can tell, we do alot of things together with our neighbors - the Clarks and the Browns. Last year we sat in our driveways (we had no grass)and watched the Kentwood Fireworks. This year we were able to sit in the grass and watch the Kentwood Fireworks and our neighbors across the street that had their own display of fireworks.
yes, it was a little chilly. But I'm learning that in Michigan, you never know what the weather will be.

Fourth of July

Brittyn and Spencer had the opportunity to ride in the Fire Chief's truck for the 4th of July parade. They were so excited. It was a long parade , and they were at the VERY end.
Here you see Madi, Brittyn, Spencer, Isaac, and Mr. Clark. Mrs.Clark snapped this shot while the other firefighters were helping to take down the flag from the ladders.
Here is the flag the was flown over the top of the parade. Pretty cool display! It was a huge flag!
Mike is one of our neighborhood firefighter friends. He had way too much fun "filling up" the dunk tank.Needless to say, you stand too close and you get really wet.
