But after lunch we headed to the new outdoor Mall by Scheels to putz around with some friends from out Ward. We ended up playing the shoot um up games in Scheels and playing in the fountains in the outdoor mall. The kids got some face painting done and that seemed "so 4th of July" per Emily.
We headed home for BBQ and yard games. I mostly just laid on the grass and watched, Lazy Mommy.
Then at dark (9pm) we headed to the Scheel's parking lot to watch the fireworks above the Nugget towers. Morgan made it through half and then disappeared into the car to snooze. I was nearly successful in eating a whole grocery bag of carmel corn myself. I was inspired by the Hot Dog eating contest we watched on ESPN, and I think I will be ready next year.
We had been the receipients of dinner from a lovely family and decided to give a gift back with this home made gum ball machine...tasty and the kids helped paint and put together!

What a cute gum ball machine. Did you use a flower pot for the base?
base is a flower pot, inside is a cube of syrofoam and the ball is styrofoam. put a down through the styrofowm in the pot, through the hole in the bottom of the pot and up through the ball. then glue gun away with the candy.
