I haven’t been doing so great with these weekend recaps, but here’s what we did this 4th of July weekend!

This year instead of fireworks (due to funding), our town did a laser light show for the Salute to Veteran’s Event. While many complained about the changed, I welcomed it! We can see fireworks a few times throughout the year, but that’s not the case with a laser light show.

We did a rubber ducky race, too! It’s a fundraiser. $5/duck and the first one to the finish line wins $X. I didn’t win and can’t remember how much, but it’s something like $300+ for 1st place.

Saturday we relaxed and set off a few small fireworks before the boys went to bed.

Sunday we went to church, a parade and then hung out at my mom’s for the evening for some pool fun, hot dogs & hamburgers, s’mores and fireworks! Definitely a great way to end a weekend!

The water was a bit chilly, but it was perfect after that 2 hour parade in the heat!

Owen especially loved the jet in the pool! He thought it was hilarious!
