Happy 4th


We had a fun 4th! It was perfect weather too. We had little rain sprinkles through out the day, but for the most part it was 78 and breezy. In the morning our little cold-e-sac hosted a kids parade, the whole neighborhood was invited. The kids decorated their bikes, we tossed candy at them, there was an adult egg toss (Ben almost started an egg fight when he tried to throw an egg at Regan, but he hopped out of the way and Ben got someone else!), and everyone brought cookies and someone brought a snow cone machine and popcorn machine.

In the afternoon our neighborhood had a big party at the park. They had food, carnival games, and those big blow up things. Then we came home and sat on our back balcony and watch fireworks. We had a perfect view. Once it got dark, we started hearing the big bangs from the fireworks, and Gabby got scared. But once we took her outside to show her what they were, she didn't stop squealing.

The only problem with yesterday....we let the girls go to bed late...and they woke up early. I have a long day ahead of me!
