FOURTH OF JULY

This was Jackson's first 4th of July! He had a blast this weekend. We went to cache valley(Logan) where most of Judd's family congregates for the famous Lewiston parade and carnival in the park! I was SO impressed with how well Jackson did with the fireworks, considering they were going off during his bed time. They shoot them off at the elementary school field and we had front row seats. Judd's family set out blankets and lie on their backs in the grass and watch the HUGE fireworks go off every year. SO, Jackson was lying on his back asleep when BOOM the fireworks start. He just opened his little peepers and saw the streeming lights above him. He didn't make one peep. His eyes were wide! and he just watched until they were done! HA! HA! I think he loved them!...I on the otherhand, thought he would be terrified by the loud pops, but nope! It was so fun to watch the fireworks with Jackson and Judd's family.This was right before the parade, Lewiston has an awsome parade! The more candy, the better the parade I think!

This is the next day, Logan is famous for it's 4th of July Cruise-In. Cars from all over the western U.S. and Canada come to enter their cars. After it's all over they give a way a classic suped up car for those who bought tickets to see the show then they close all of Main street for two hours for all the cars who entered to drag the street. Everyone in Cache Valley comes to watch these cars drive up and down the streets. Judd and I have entered every year to win the car but we haven't won...yet. This year they gave away a Dodge Charger like this one, only black. Judd LOVES the Charger because it is the Dukes of Hazzard Car. You probaly think I set every picture up so I can have a cute blog? nope! Judd asked me to take this picture. "Me and my boy with the charger."
We had a million pictures of different cars to post, but I only picked one. This is the one I liked the most....because it's pretty.
