Our 4th of July Celebrations


This year the kids got to ride in our towns annual Fourth of July Parade with their cousins. My brother called us the night before to tell us he would be driving an old custom painted pick-up truck in the parade and he wanted all the kids to ride in the back.




When we met Uncle Ted at the parade he told us an adult had to ride in the back with the kids, so I had to climb in and ride along. I have to admit it's a little unnerving to ride along having 100's of people stare and wave at you, but the kids LOVED it.


After the parade we had just enough time to head home so I could make 24 cupcakes, a chocolate cake and two batches of brownies to bring to the BBQ at Auntie Traci's.

At the BBQ we had a great time and starting at dusk we started doing fireworks. The kids had a TON of fun.





We didn't get home until after 11pm!!
