Happy Belated July 4th!!!!=)

Almost a month has passed since July 4th, but I still wanted to update you on our family's adventures!=)

On Saturday morning, we headed over to the pool clubhouse for a neighborhood 4th of July parade. The boys rode in their decorated red wagon and waved their American flags as we followed the parade route around the block. We were led by a firetruck and enjoyed getting to meet some more of our neighbors. The parade was followed up by some watermelon and popsicles!

Stephen is usually scared of fireworks (they're "too loud") but this year, at the last minute, he decided he wanted to go and see some! On Sunday night, at like 7:30, we packed the car and headed out on a search for some good fireworks. We ended up in a parking lot near the State Fairgrounds. The boys played football, and we ate watermelon out of the back of our van! The fireworks were beautiful, and Stephen did amazingly well. I guess it helped that we were too far away for them to be loud!

Overall it was a great July 4th! Can't wait to enjoy it next year with 3 little ones!=)
