Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day! L and I had a pretty fun 4th of July this year, one of the main reasons is because we got to spend it together! I fly into Grand Rapids Michigan Sunday night, and am spending about a week and a half here with L.  It has been so nice to be able to spend time together.  L is still working while i'm here though, he is doing so awesome he has over 100 sales so far this year! He is doing so amazing! So some of the other wives were nice enough to invite me along to go see a parade in a cute little town close to our hotel. 
 They had awesome bag pipe players!
 They also were wearing awesome kilts!
 They had a lot of awesome cars in the parade.  Like this one that was so small and it only had one door which was in the very front of the car, it was awesome!

 They also had a lot of politicians walk through the parade too, which was different. 


 They also had the local high school crew team in the parade.  





 It was weird though because they didn't really have any floats, they just had a bunch of cars and stuff. But it was still really fun to see, and they through out a ton of candy while walking down.  It is different than the Bountiful parade.  We got there 30 min before the parade started and was still able to get a great seat.  I guess parades aren't as popular here as in Utah. After that we went back to the hotel for a little while and then the guys came home early and we headed downtown to Grand Rapids, to watch the firework show.  It was pretty cool because there is a river that runs through Grand Rapids, and they shoot the fireworks off of one bridge and then let you sit on the other bridges to watch.  We sat down at about 8:30p.m.- 9:00 p.m. to save a seat for the firework show, and let me tell you I have never seen so many people try to jam on the a bridge before it was nuts.  
 Here is handsom L waiting for the fireworks to start! 
 We dared one of the other Salesmen to see how much cottoncandy he can fit into his mouth at one time. Lol it was pretty funny to watch. 


The firework show was pretty awesome! One of the best shows that I've ever seen! It was pretty awesome.   Yesterday I had a pretty eventful day compared to the fireworks and parade lol.  I got to do laundry at coin operated machines it was super fun.  I have never had to do that before.  
Look at how awesome they are! It was so much fun let me tell you!
