4th of July Festivities

Like last year, we started our 4th of July festivities, that actually happened on the 3rd of July, up in Huntsville.

We started the day off with breakfast in the park

The kids waited patiently for the parade to start.

The girls had fun waving to the people in the floats and tractors and running out to get candy. They made out like bandits and had a huge bag full of candy.

After the parade the kids went and played at the park for a while. Emily mastered the rings and loved that she could do them all by herself.

Later that afternoon we went swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Spackmans.

After swimming we fired up the grilled and enjoyed some tasty hamburgers and hot dogs. Apparently we weren't feeding Joshua enough so he dumped the bag of chips out on the patio and helped himself.

We finished the night off watching the fireworks from Ryan and Heidi's house.
