Happy 4th of July

We have made a tradition with some friends of going to the parade on the 4th of July. We have a lot of fun, maybe more than the kids. We went to the parade this year and there were over 100 entries, it was a 2 hour parade. Like I said we enjoy it but the kids get a little restless after an hour or so.

Here is Caydance and Marley getting ready for the parade to start.

Yumm....licorice!

After all the fun at the parade we went to lunch and then headed to another friends house for a BBQ and fireworks. They have an adorable little lake that the kids loved playing in!

Here is Dalan jumping in the water.

Marley was not content to sit for very long. Eventually I walked her out into the water.

She has no fear, she loves being in the water and she splashed both of us until I was soaked!

Happy 4th of July!
