2006 Fourth of July in Montana

Had a great time in Montana visiting family and friends. One of the best 4th of July's that I can remember... 'course, what may have added to the fun and everything was the fact it was Kaylee's "first 4th"...

Went to the parade in Laurel.

...Kaylee (and Wendy) caught some beads and candy!

...Waved a flag.

...Played in the wading pool in Pamela and Gene's backyard.



...Took in the church carnival (Mom's church) up in the Heights.

...Kaylee had her face painted.

Took in the fireworks display at Thompson Park in Laurel. We actually sat in front of the highschool where Wendy and I both graduated! The lights stayed on there - so we could keep an eye on Kaylee easier. She wore earplugs so the loud booms wouldn't scare her. The big whole sky lighting up was more than she could comprehend though - it blew her mind to see! We turned her away when it was just too much for her... and she went to sleep about 5 minutes into the show... and slept through the whole thing (even the biggest grand finale we'd ever seen).



Our camera ran out of batteries - otherwise above would have been picture from finale.

But here's a short video clip from the show (when Kaylee was sleeping)... (click the icon to play):
