Fireworks....

We took in all Sparta had to offer.......


We were witness to the fireworks show!! We arrived with a little time to spare...like an hour...but it flew by, with good company! Dad and Linda treated us to ice cream sandwiches and fudgesicles...we walked to Family Fare to get those while we waited.

We were adorned with glow sticks.....but they are hard to see in this lighting! (I think Chris is getting his on in the picture)

In attendance was Dad & Linda, Chris & Jerri Coates w/ Nicole, Lindsey & Jared, Steve & Joanne w/ TX3 + Sabrina, ? & ?

It was a great small town show and we had a great view......until next show!

P.S....come back soon to see the cuteness that is going on at our house!!!

Saturday Fun....

We headed out for our annual Sparta Town & Country days parade. Dad and Linda met us there to take in all the fun!


We picked our seats out first and then headed over to Sparta Baptist for a free hot dog, pretzel and juice. While in the foyer eating it started to pour.....so we took up residence there. While there we visited with Dave & Carolyn Cumings.






A clown trying to make Trent smile...he doesn't seem to impressed!


















Handing out junior fireman stickers









Tootsie Roll face













Trent and a Kent County Sheriff....hopefully he never gets this close to one again!





I saved the best for last! Trent got to ride the Scrambler...as you can see he is enjoying himself! He rode all by himself.....not because we were afraid...because it was $4.00 to ride...that's what was scary!








We did have to endure some rain drops...but it stopped part way through the parade. We went over to see the car show and saw friends from church, Randy and Darcy Atkins with their car...I'm not sure what it was...I think a Camaro??...19__ something??

It was fun so met Dad & Linda there and walk around with them. We had dinner there too...a walking taco and homemade ice cream (from the dollar store) We plan to go to the Fireworks show with the Coates Sunday night...maybe Tasty Treat ice cream....I'm gonna have to wear a moomoo. Until next year....
