4th of July

Happy 4th of July!

We had a good hot day!

Here we all are decked out in our red, white, & blue. 

We went to the parade 1st thing in the morning.  The kids really liked it, but it sure was hot!

 We had a picnic with my oldest brother Jason in the park afterwards, but I forgot to take a picture!

After that, we went home & made fruit pizza to look like flags & brownie bites with flags on top.  

The kids love baking in the kitchen & I love when I can give them all 

away to stop myself from eating the whole batch! :)

 Mom paid for us to have a spot right in front of the boat dock where the fireworks go off.  

We had a barbecue, played games, & had a perfect view of the fireworks!

 She also gave our kids lots of messy sugary treats so they were pretty dirty by the end of the night!!!

Here is our whole group that was together for the fireworks. 

This one is pretty fuzzy... guess the stranger didn't know how to focus my camera!

 The kids entertained themselves quite a while with glow toys.

 Tucker & Evie playing catch with that little blue glow ball.

 We did fireworks the next night.  Whitney & Tommy started off brave.

The sparks flying around Whitney's head scared her so she held the rest out as still & far away from her as she could!

 

Vic Showed Tommy how to do a nice big circle...

 Tommy couldn't keep his steady so here's what his looked like!

 Tommy loved all of the fountain fireworks, especially the ones that did random high pitched whistles in the middle of it.  He'd be so excited he'd jump up & down and exclaim "yes!" or "oh ya!".
