Fourth of July (I know it's August...)

I was going to try posting this before July was over - no such luck!  We have been keeping very busy with baseball, swimming, play dates, and more baseball. 

We had a great Independence Day - who needs fireworks when you have the two cutest firecrackers already?

The parade was nice.  It stayed cloudy for the most part and a few drops *gasp* even fell on us.  Key word there was a few - it was like two drops and then nothing! 

Sweet girl waiting for the parade to start



Yommy and Papa came later during the parade.  I love this picture for so many reasons - It has two of my favorite people saying thank you to those who fight so unselfishly for our great country!



After the parade we walked around the circle a little bit.

Guns up!



Our best attempt at a family 4th pic




After the parade, we spotted these guys walking to their car.  Amazing Grace on bagpipes always makes me cry!  And now Jackson wonders if they wear underwear beneath their kilts...



I obviously didn't pass my fear of statues on to this kid...



or this one!




So glad we got to celebrate with Yommy and Papa too!

After the parade, we walked down Broadway to enjoy the street fair.  Our clouds left us and it got HOT!!!


This one's for you Uncle Timmy!  What's the 4th of July without a stormtrooper?



Jackson got his face painted (a baseball and a green bat).  We may or may not have talked him out of a CRAZY long line to jump in a bouncer by promising him some ice cream. 



"Why is SpongeBob melting, Mom?"

We had lunch at Fuzzy's with Yommy and Papa and then went home before we melted too!  The rest of our day wasn't too exciting - we walked around the mall, went out to eat for supper and then watched the fireworks on T.V.  It was a wonderful day to celebrate America's birthday with the people I love!

Verse of the day - "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17
