We spent 4th of July in Spearman and had a wonderful time. A family in my parents' neighborhood puts on a parade, games and lunch for all the families that live on that street. It is so much fun. We decorated Garrett's bike and he proudly rode it in the parade. He even won an award for Best Boy Bike. He got a certificate and a two dollar bill. When we asked him what he won he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "just a piece of paper." He was excited anyway and very proud of himself. After the parade the kids played games and then we ate lunch. The excitement was too much for Gaitley and she fell asleep in her stroller about halfway through the morning. Britt's parents live in that neighborhood too, so the whole family was there and Garrett got to spend the day with his cousins from Arkansas. That night we popped fireworks and Britt even let Garrett use a punk and light some of the smaller ones. Garrett told us he loved to crack fire!
