We had a very busy, fun-filled 4th of July this year. We had so many different activities to do. And instead of picking and choosing, we just did them all... We are usually out of town on the 4th, so it was fun to be in town and be able to do some of the local activities. We started off the morning by Andy taking the girls to a 4th of July activity that our neighborhood puts on every year. Ian was still sleeping, so they went on without me. The girls were definitely excited to show their patriotic spirit and join the parade:
They were pretty proud of their unicorn and flower:
As they did the parade around our neighborhood, Andy cut out by our house and by that time Ian was awake, so we all loaded into the car to head to the church for a 4th of July breakfast. We all enjoyed seeing friends and eating pancakes. The children even performed a patriotic number and our girls were very serious about waving their paper flags...
After the breakfast we met up with some friends at one of your neighborhood pools. The kids enjoyed themselves!
The best part of all came later in the afternoon when Papa and Grandma Michaelson arrived! We enjoyed a yummy dinner and then had to celebrate Papa's 70th, since it was only 3 days away. The girls were thrilled to help him blow out his candles.
Once it was dark we went outside and did some sparklers. Rachel was quite brave and Audrey warmed up to them with the help of Grandma.
We definitely enjoyed our 4th of July with many friends and family. It's always fun to spend holidays with those whom you enjoy!
