Land of the Free!!!!

Happy 4th of July!! Well it's yet another tradition with the Chipman family..... I know, I know another one!! We "camp out" up at my parents home on July 3rd. So the whole family brings their sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, treats, and of course the air mattress!!!
We all had a blast!!! Greg brought some fireworks so we had a good little pre show!! I got to watch from the front window, thanks to Mitch who doesn't care much for the fireworks:) Even Pat and Larry came down to enjoy them and a Pepsi!!! When it was time to settle down, we all went in the backyard to watch a movie. Normally we bring out my parents tv from their room and hook it all up so we can watch the movie, but this year Shawn brought a projector. We hung up a white sheet on the house and it worked perfectly.
Greg loves his fireworks, so for the 4th he put on a great show just outside on the street. Thanks to Greg and are neighbor Matt, we had an awesome show!!! We could even see Pleasant Grove's fireworks from are house!!! Ashlynn had some friends over and they all had so much fun!!! Mitch did allow us to watch them outside, he just didn't let me put him down the whole time, and after every firework was done he would say "done fireworks, fireworks all gone."
