Our ward had a breakfast onthe 4th at 7:30 in the morning so we got an early start that day. There was no parade that day, but they had a lot of fun booths and free blow up toys for the kids at the park. So Me and the girls went to the park and Jake went to fix our broken pipe. Yep another one. We descovered it the night before, and tried to call our maintenance guy, who of course wasn't home. We new he would never come out on a holiday to fix it so Jake decided to just do it himself. We figured he could probably do a better job anyway. The pipe that broke was the same one that broke twice before. Since Jake fixed it we have had no problems. Anyway back to the 4th, well we had planned on going to the fireworks that night. We had heard good things about the show around here but..... about 2 hours before it was time to go Jake became seriously ill and we could not leave the comfort of the toilet behind. So Rileigh, Jaci, and I went out to our back yard to watch them and we could actually see them pretty well since the ground around here is so flat. It wasn't as great as being in town would have been, but Rileigh had a ball. Our nabors put on quite a show too, and we clapped and oohed and ahhed over there show. Who knows what they thought about that, but we enjoyed ourselves.
