Our 4th of July Firecrackers!
I didn't want to sit home all day so I drove the kids by myself an hour away (down by Indianapolis) to see a parade. It was really long with lots of people, just how every parade should be!
Afterwards we had to walk quite a ways to get to the after party so I bribed the kids with snow cones. We ate lunch by these pretty daisies.
Then I let the kids play in the bounce houses for awhile.
We got home & I rushed to the store to put on a quick BBQ as it didn't feel patriotic without one!
The kids were pretty excited about having "a party!"
We invited a few of the neighbors over for water balloons & back yard play.
Our family, Miskins, & Newmans
Tommy LOVED the fireworks this year. He was running around like crazy super hyper & asking for more. Luckily, quite a few of our neighbors had quite large ones for us to watch. Whitney hated them so we put her & Tucker to bed before we even started.
This was the first year in a long time that we stayed home & only did our own fireworks instead of heading down to the river. I really liked it. We still got a good show from ours & the neighbors & it was much more relaxing... and we had time to watch a movie together afterwards!

fun fourth! the kids look adorable as usual. did you add those ribbons on Whitney's dress? super cute. I wish ground fireworks weren't banned here. That pretty much made up our minds to be in Idaho next year. The kids love sparklers, etc.
Yeah Idaho! Cute pictures of the kids! It looks like you had a lot of fun celebrating the Fourth of July.
