The first full day we were in ND was the fourth of July. We went to a parade in a cute little town named Fort Ransom. It is seriously cute! I didn't take any pics so you'll just have to take my word for it.
Karter and my cousins little girl Alexis were fast friends. They got along so well and kept each other occupied. It was great! We told them if they waved at the floats they would throw them candy. Their arms were moving!

They hit the jackpot! It was like Halloween.

We had a barbecue that evening at my Uncle Scotts and Aunt Jackie's. Jackie is a fabulous cook and I consumed way too much food...way too much!! The cousins and a few uncles all played woofle(is that how you spell that) ball. It was too funny.

It was so fun to be able to see all the new kiddos that have joined the family. My grandparents have seven great-grandkids with one on the way. This is "Baby Addi". She is a little darling!!

After the games ended they pulled out the fireworks. Hudson and I called it a night and left since Big Bubba is super scared of fireworks. Just before we left for ND my dad lit some fireworks off with Karter, Maddy and Hudson. I was sitting in the living room and heard one go off then I heard Hudson let out a blood curdling scream and then I saw a flash of red running down the hall. It was so funny!! He was scared to death. He didn't stop until he was in the very back of the house. His little short legs sure can move. (The pic is my sis in law Marissa and my niece Precies.)
