The 4th of July is always one of our favorite family holidays. It's a nice mid-summer chance to enjoy summer weather, family time, good food, and festive activities.
Since the 4th was on a Sunday this year, we started the festivities on Saturday morning with a 3rd of July parade. (Briggs' friend, Dava, popped over to say hi before the parade.)
Floats, tractors, horses, fire trucks, and lots of candy. What could be better??
We spent the rest of the day at Uma and Papa's enjoying a yummy brunch, visiting, and playing. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a relaxing day.
The next day, we put on different red, white, and blue and went back over the Uma and Papa's on the 4th of July for lunch and yard games and playing with cousins.
The girls enjoyed water fun on the slip and slide while making up a performance that incorporated a play and interpretive dance while slipping and sliding. Inspired!
That evening we enjoyed the fireworks as a family. The fireworks show was great. The bugs were not.
Even this little guy enjoyed the show without any tears or covering his ears. So much progress!
We enjoyed a fun week-end full of family, food, and festivities.
Happy 4th of July!!
