4th of July Fun!

We celebrated the heck out of America's birthday this year! We started with our neighborhood parade and picnic on Saturday, July 2nd. The night before we went and got Kade a bunch of patriotic decorations to put on his wagon so he could participate in the parade. When I say parade, I mean the neighborhood kids decorating their bikes, wagons, scooters, etc and "parading" around the park. We got there in time for a little playtime and then it was time for the parade. They lined up and took off on the "long" parade route. Kade pulled his wagon and Bryan and Gracie followed behind. He almost made it the entire route before he got too tired and decided he needed to sit down for a drink. Bryan and Gracie pulled him to the end, and they all three earned a prize for Best Group Entry! It was fun and following the parade was a little cookout and picnic. We had fun and just love our little neighborhood as it feels like a little step back in time. We went home and ALL took 3 hours naps...BLISSFUL!

 

Sunday, July 3rd we headed up to Trophy Club to my parents house early to swim and hang out. We were so bored because when it is 104 degrees outside there is nothing to do BUT swim. So we went up there and swam and took naps. Then we all showered and got dressed to head to dinner and into Roanoke for their celebration and firework show. We met the Sonsini's up there and all watched the firework show together. It was a lot of fun!  We stayed the night at my parents and woke up on the 4th to hang out and celebrate some more. We swam all.day.long! When it started to get dark we went up to the country club and watched Trophy Club's fire works show. It was such a great holiday, but we were all pooped by the end. We got home late on the 4th and went to bed immediately!
