We had such a fabulous 4th of July. I love that it is such a community and family oriented holiday. Our little town of Star does a great job with their hometown celebration. Craig headed off super early for a round of golf and the kids and I rode our bikes over to the parade. The kids loved all of the cool cars and floats and horses and especially the candy. Brooklyn was super aggressive (which made my competitive mommy heart proud) but also helped make sure that McKay got plenty of candy as well. After the parade I headed off to the gym while the rest of the gang ate lunch. After nap time we headed over to Craig's parents house to swim and bbq. After dinner we did a few small fire works on the driveway. We then headed home for bed time. We got McKay to bed and then Brooklyn and I headed over to the park for the big fireworks. They didn't start until 10:15 but Brooklyn was still wide awake. It was pretty busy by the time we got there so we just laid out our blanket on the sidewalk. The city did a great job with the fireworks and Craig was even able to see them pretty well from our play room window. Brooklyn loved the big fireworks and that she got to stay up late. What a wonderful day we had celebrating our wonderful country. It was fun to talk to the kids about how blessed we are to live in America. God Bless the USA!
