Our day was relaxing. Keith and I slept in until about 10am. Kaden slept in until after 8am! Salem slept in till after 7am! That's rare for everyone!
Finally got moving, Keith and Salem went for a bike ride. They were gone about 45 minutes, rode 11 miles. Salem was pokey at times. He's gotta work on staying up to a good speed all the time, in due time I guess. Kaden and I stayed at home and decorated his helmet and bike! Kaden LOVED it! We started doing Salem's bike just as he got back. Salem helped do his helmet and mom did his front wheel. Keith mowed the lawn today and split some wood so we can do a fire tomorrow for some camp food.
We made a fireworks run today. What a hassle that was! I hadn't picked up any sparklers yet and knew we needed some. Kaden had seen this pack at Walmart that had some silver and gold confetti shooters in it. I didn't buy it all the times were had been to that store in the previous weeks. So we went there today to see if they had it. Of course they only had the $30 pack and it had a bunch of junky things, but it did have his confetti shooters. We 
refused to spend $30, so only got some sparklers there and left...much to Kaden's hatred of us. We went to Drugtown and got some 3foot tall morning glories! Still not good for Kaden. Drove to Walgreens, they didn't have anything good left. Off to Hyvee on the other side of town. Last time I was in they had a bunch of stuff! Of course looking for fireworks on the 4th of July was pretty dumb thing to do. HyVee had those "poppers" that shoot confetti when you pull the string. Kaden loved those, so we made him happy! (Not and easy thing to do!)
Back home for dinner, burgers on the grill, and playing before we had to start getting ready to go. Keith and I were inside while the boys were riding their bikes outside. Kaden decided he would ride his bike off the front porch and down the front stairs. He did it once just fine. 2nd time he crashed! I had been saying earlier not to crash cause we wouldn't be able to see the fireworks from the ER room! Well, he wasn't hurt too bad, good road rash on his knee. We took him up to the bathroom and Keith said he needed peroxide to clean it out. Man what that horror! It took us over 5 minutes to do that! He worked himself up into a huge fit, and by then we weren't going to back down, it was dirty, had to be cleaned. When he finally calmed down and let us 
pour it on, he said it was fine, didn't hurt that bad! Now if he'll remember that for next time! So we bandaged him up, even put patriotic coban on his knee. And off we went to see fireworks!
We sat in a huge field and watched some crazy lady drive halfway across it with kids all over, dumb! We got there around 7:45 and it was very empty. Buy 9:30 it was PACKED! It was a very good spot though! It did take us almost an hour to get home though! Majority of that was sitting in traffic, plus the cops were routing us the long way around. Oh well we made it home. Salem took a nap on the way back.
At home we broke out the sparklers and stuff. Fun times!! I'm gonna get some more to play with again tomorrow! Partly because I found a cool setting on my camera to use with them.
Now we're exhausted and ready for bed. Everyone better sleep in again tomorrow!!Hope everyone had a
great 4th of July!!
