4th of July in KS






We had a fun time celebrating the 4th of July in Kansas with my parents, Grandma Fry, Zach & Laura, Molly, Brain & Cindy, and my cousin Jer from California. We started the trip by meeting my parents and Zach & Laura in Independence for a fun evening of mini golf, the park, the carousel, and Braums ice cream! The Independence park has the most amazing prices I've ever seen! It was $1 per person for mini golf, $0.25 per person for the train ride, and (are you ready for this?) $0.05 per person for the carousel!! With prices like that, we could have spent the whole day there without spending over $5! :) The next day, we hung out at Grandma Fry's house, played some Dutch Blitz, set off some firecrackers, ate lots of good food, and finished up the day with a trip to the Elk County Rodeo! It was Cooper's first rodeo (he kept calling it a radio!) and he really enjoyed it! His favorite parts were when the clown rode a dirt bike and jumped over several men lying side by side on the ground and the bull riding! He also really enjoyed the fireworks after the rodeo. I had a good time visiting with my best friend Tabby Hogan and watching her kids and my kids (and lots of other kids) play together. It was a great evening! The next day after church, we had lunch at Grandma Fry's house and made homemade ice cream (with strawberries from my mom's garden)! What a great end to a perfect 4th of July weekend!
