We decided to go to the down town Mesa Fourth of July Celebration and since Chris and Alaina have been in town we decided to all go together! They are in the process of moving to Lake Havasu which is where Chris's Dad lives. Chris got a job offer in Yuma so they are here to stay!! Alaina is such a Golden Friend! One of those friends that you will have for life, I can see our families taking vacations together and always
finding a way to visit.
We decided to wait until the sun went down since it was a very very Hot 116 degrees that day. It was really quite nice because we got close parking and the heat wasn't too uncomfortable. The fireworks didn't start until 9:30 so we decided to go to the Fallen soldiers memorial by the Mesa Arts Center.
Here is a piece of the World Trade center it doesn't look too heavy but the beam weighs 1,500 lbs I had just been talking to Kenidi about war and what happened on 9/11 so she was very excited that she got to see and touch a piece of it.
There is this neat little area just outside of the Mesa Arts Center where the kids all got to walk through and splash, we all ended up getting in, it was a great way to cool down.
Kaden was cute, he was clinching his fists and concentrating so hard on the fireworks. He looks so funny!
This is an old .75 Caliber Blunder Bust ( Pilgrim Style). They are collecting donations for the disabled American veterans and all of the proceeds would go to helping them, I bought one raffle ticket maybe we will win it!
