We had a great time with friends and family celebrating the 4th of July. I'll let the pictures tell the story...
We started out at our town's Old Fashioned July 4th Celebration. They close the streets downtown and set up inflatables, games, and had a bike parade. Laura has gotten so brave! She had a blast going down this slide.
It was about 100 degrees this morning, but we still had a really good time. Laura made a cool sculpture out of packing peanuts!
Laura had a butterfly made by the clown and she waved it while waiting for the parade to start.
Shawn and Laura had a good time on this zebra race...until Laura realized she wasn't going to win and decided to stop. Shawn then got on the zebra with Laura and they crossed the finish line together.
That evening we went to the fireworks with friends. Laura and Colton are best friends!
The kids had a great time coloring, talking, and playing with play-doh waiting for it to get dark enough for the fireworks.
The weekend after July 4th, we headed to the lake to celebrate with my mom and dad. Laura rode her bike in the neighborhood parade (and decided that her "sleepy" and monkey needed to ride along:)
If there were a contest for best bike, I'm sure Laura would have won!
There is something really cool about watching fireworks from the boat. Everything looks so pretty reflected on the water.
We hope you all had a great day celebrating our country and our freedom!
