Yey for Red, White, and Blue!

My parents helped me drive home with the kids on Thursday and stayed through the weekend. Rich and I got to go on a wonderful date to the cheesecake factory. We don't ever get to go out because we don't get babysitters, so it was a special treat for us. Then on Saturday we went to the parade and Kailer got some candy, that's pretty much why we go to parades. Although, this parade had the second half of the floats water fighting floats. People brought coolers full of water for squirt guns and water balloons to throw at the floats. It was a huge water fight and we're going to have to participate next year. Then we drove out to the Bass Pro Shops and spent like 4 hours in the store doing free things. Kailer made a birdhouse, shot b-b guns, shot a bow n arrow, did lazer tag, and lots of other little games. They were having a family fun camp there. He enjoyed himself, he's a mini Richard! Then we had a great dinner at the silverton buffet. We're almost getting our moneys worth now cause Meili eats almost as much as Kailer! We met some friends for fireworks in Boulder City and the show was great. It was pretty long and really close, so it was really fun. We didn't get home until about midnight because of traffic, but it was worth it! It was great to have my parents in town and we're now getting back to our schedules at home. Wish me luck with potty training! That's my next adventure!
