It was a really hot fourth of July this year, but we still made it out for the parade this morning. When I told Tristan we were going to a parade and then to a baseball field where firemen would make him pancakes, he stared at me for a few seconds and then said, "Is it my birthday?"
The parade was too short and not very good, but we have found few good parades here in Colorado. I might just have to borrow my mom's parade file one of these years and organize a good old fashion home town parade.
My little firecrackers didn't make it very long, and I was just sorry that only one of the seats reclined all the way. The pancakes were terrific, but the heat made us leave the festivities early on. After some lunch and naps, we took the whole family to the pool for the first time. It was not a train wreck like I anticipated, so I think we might try it again. I know a lot of people let their kids stay up on nights like tonight, but we decided to send them all to bed early... Happy Independence to us!!!
sounds like a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! We didn't stay out late for fireworks until TJ was 6. Poor TJ had to wait that long while Liam got to stay out for his very first 4th.
