I wanted to have the kids dress all patriotic.
My parents have a big Fourth of July breakfast where they invite all the neighbors who live around them. It was a really good turnout. Everyone was friendly and I think it is a great way to get to know the people around you.
Megan waits with Grandpa for the parade to begin.
Everyone thought this car/submarine was pretty cool.
But not as cool as the waving fireman dog. The kids got a fair amount of candy and even an otterpop, so they were happy.
Poor Megan got prickly skin heat rash from the parade. So my mom suggested letting her go naked for awhile to help. The poor girl didn't seem to mind the little red bumps all over her body.
We went to a water park in between the parade and the fireworks. Rachel was a little timid in the water, but eventually decided that it was kind of okay.
They were handing out free suckers to the kids entering the stadium for the fireworks. We got there like an hour early and everything was great and then literally a minute before the show was to start, Whitney needed to go to the bathroom. Thankfully, we only missed a couple of fireworks, I think.
Will is good at taking firework pictures. He got several good shots. Anyway, it was a happy day.
