We had a busy and fun 4th today. Look at these two patriotic cuties!
In the morning, we went to the parade downtown. The kids really enjoyed it. I think that was due in no small part to the amount of candy the parade performers gave to them ; )
Russell said his favorite part was seeing a little daschund dressed as a hotdog. Mine and Jason’s favorite were definitely the 3 small bands that played along the parade route. Meredith just agreed with what the rest of us said : )
After the parade, we had a couple hours of down time at home. Then I let Russell skip his nap to go to Grandmother’s house, where Pops and Mimi, and Uncle Jon, Aunt Meghan and Ella had driven for a short visit! Russell got to hold his baby cousin and meet her for the first time!
Melt. My. Heart. When did he get so big?! Fastest (and slowest) 4 years ever.
And for the rest of the afternoon/evening, we met at a friend’s house for a cookout!
Mmmmm…hot dogs, chips, watermelon, corn on the cob, baked beans, and cake – perfect 4th of July meal!
Like last year, we let the kids try some sparklers! I was quite happy with how careful they were.
What a great 4th of July! We’re so thankful for all the freedoms we enjoy!
