Fourth of July!

We got up and went to the La Verne parade.  It's really a small town, especially when you know a lot of the people in the parade personally.  I love living in this little town!  Afterwards we went to a little fair and my kids got their face/arm painted.  Bob and John didn't want to do it :)  Then the girls had feathers put in their hair.  We were starving at this point and went to In N' Out for lunch.  We took our food back to the park and ate there.  We played a game of soccer and then I brought John and Bob home so they could do some homework and James played tennis with our kiddos.  In the evening we went to Bob and John's principals California home in Chino Hills (it was on the top of a hill too).  And principal Tian had bar be qued hot dogs, chicken wings and ribs, watermellon, chips and drinks.  We visited with some of the other host families.  Our boys sat around most of the time and played their nintendo games, etc.  We realized that is what most of the younger ones did too. When it got dark, we were able to look over the whole valley and see lots of fireworks.  Happy 4th of July!
