July 4th Weekend

Saturday we went to the Bentonville Square for the Bike Parade. Josh, Hudson & I got there early to enjoy the farmer's market. My Mom & Dad (aka Me-Ma & Pa-Pa) met us at the square, too, along with Carrie, Josh, & the boys. We had a really good time. The parade had a small town feel to it. Hudson & Carter rode in the red wagon. Don't they look cute?? Collin rode is bike and raced really fast. The whole family walked in the parade.

Oh, Carrie & I spent Friday decorating the wagon and bike. I'm so lucky to have a fun sis :-) She is definitely the creative one between the two of us.

Aren't they cute?

These boys are ready to ride!! Check out Collin behind them on his big boy bike.


Carrie made the boys their own license plate!!

Here we go!!

For every child that participated, they gave them free ice cream from The Station Cafe!! The boys were very excited about that!!

Carter is so happy right now :-)

On July 4th, after a cookout at Carrie & Josh's, we went to the Pinnacle Hills Church to watch fireworks. This isn't some small show either. There are hundreds of fireworks that go off and it was amazing. I didn't know how Hudson would do with the fireworks. Last year he was so young and wasn't around any. He LOVED them. His eyes were glued to the sky.

Daddy & Hudson take a walk around the grounds. BTW, Josh sprays the grass at the church and it all looked great!!

Beautiful picture of the Crosses!!

Had to get a picture of the 3 of us :) I'm lucky to have 2 cute guys in my life.

This isn't even all the people that were there!!
