We were lucky to enjoy a long 4th of July weekend in Richfield! 4th of July is one of the best times of the year to be in Richfield!!
We started off the holiday weekend with a little fireworks show for the kids...Paxton was not super impressed with the lights or the noise.
We did manage to get the kids together for a group picture before the show...this was the best picture we could get...many of them looked quite unfortunate!
Pax enjoyed the weekend playing with his dad...he really enjoyed the bouncy tractor seat on my parent's front porch. I liked how he looked like he was riding a bull in this picture!
He also spent the weekend crawling around with his cousin Mana. Mana is 2 1/2 months younger than Paxton and they are quite a pair! We can't wait to see what kind of trouble they will cause over the next couple of years!
On the morning of the 4th, Andy, my sister Jerika, and brother in law Pila ran in the Liberty Fun Run 5K. Andy had only been training to run the 5k for about 2 weeks and they all did a great job...finishing the race together with a great time! We are so proud of them!!
After that we enjoyed the Richfield parade...Paxton lasted about 5 minutes into the parade and fell asleep...Andy was totally impressed (this being his first Richfield 4th) with how much candy they threw out...I was totally unimpressed with the older couple (and by older I mean late 40's early 50's) who gathered up as much candy for themselves as all our little kids did put together. Oh well...the weather was great, I relived my drill team glory days, and we had a great time!
We then ventured over the park for a burger and a snow cone! Of course Paxton loved it...
Here is the whole gang...parked in our usual spot enjoying our traditional Richfield 4th of July!!

Your little Paxton is so cute. I'm sad I missed the 4th in Richfield this year, it is alays fun.
I'm so jealous. I was at home with 3 barfing kids, being 8 months preg. Worst Independence Day ever!
Do they still do the fish grab?
PS Go Andy! Did you totally swoon at his sweet 5K skills?
