Hot & Humid Fourth of July

After the race Dan's Dad, Donna, Angel, and Shawn came to visit. Us girls had a great time shopping while the boys enjoyed being competitive, like usual. The boys played mini golf, football, went to the batting cages, etc...while us girls spent all their money:) Well not quite...but we did do a lot of shopping!

That night we went out to eat and then to the Boardwalk (an outdoor mall)....which is similar to the Gateway in Utah for those that have been there, except the Boardwalk is along the Red River. We shopped a little and then watched the fireworks while eating caramel apples (a family tradition). Everyone sets out blankets and lawn chairs on the backside of the Boardwalk. The fireworks are lit on a boat on the river...so it is really neat to be sitting close to the river as you watch the fireworks. Overall, we had a great 4th of July and were grateful for the family members that came up to spend the day with us. I hope everyone enjoyed the 4th as well...wherever you may be!
