Our 4th of July fun began on the 3rd when we ate red, white and blue pancakes for dinner. That was easier than waking up and making them for breakfast before the parade.
David ran into our friend Mary that I used to teach with and who is married to a friend of David's from college. She lives on the parade route, so we just sat in front of her house--convenient!
David's friend Troy from work and his family passed by us--here is Olivia posing with their daughter Cambree (sp?)--they had played once or twice before.
Aubrey in her red, white and blue waiting for the parade to start.
After the parade, we went down to the greenbelt for a little while and hung out with Sam and Sara and their two boys. Then the girls tried out this inflatable slide.Olivia loved it, but Aubrey was a bit nervous and used her feet to slowly make her way down.
She enjoyed herself more a little later when we went to the mall to get out of the heat and to look for some sandals for me. The girls got to play in the little play center in the mall while I fed Dawson.
I don't have any pics of the fireworks, but the rest of the day was fun as well. We picked up a few things and went over to my mom's house for a BBQ (with just us) and then we met up with David's friend Troy's family at a hotel on the other side of the freeway overpass where they had connections to be able to park and watch the fireworks. It was an awesome spot! My allergies (and David's too--but his are always terrible) were ridiculous and made me miserable, but other than that it was a fun time. We visited for a couple hours while awaiting the big show, and then it came, and boy was it big! I really am impressed with the fireworks here. They are definitely worth going out for. The day was a fun one--we are blessed to live here in the land of the free!
