This year we started the holiday off at the Murray Parade. The kids love sitting down on the curb watching the floats and people walk by and toss TONS of candy to the crowd. It is fun because it is tradition and we get to hang out with Gary's family. After the parade we all head back to G&G Oaks for a BBQ. Thanks to Aunt Stephanie we have pictures of the picnic. (I have gotten so terrible about taking my camera with me)
I purchased some sparklers and let the kids have some fun with them. I thought Sarah would be scared of holding it, but nope she LOVED it. She kept asking for another one - just like her big brother.
We walked to the Cottonwood Club for fireworks and the kids had to make a quick stop at the playground first. Isaac is a MONKEY - he only wants to go to the playgrounds that have monkey bars. He can scale up the poles so he doesn't use the steps. He will just swing back and forth till he slips off. I wish I had as much upper body strength as he does. Since Dad was there - he had some fun balancing Isaac.
Here at the Cottonwood Club waiting for the fireworks. The had a surprisingly good show this year. This is a fun tradition I have had since I was a little girl. It was nice to see some friends I grew up with there and now we all have kids of our own.
