Fourth of July 2010

We had a fun 4th of July! We started the day off watching our neighborhood parade, then got free sno-cones and cotton candy and played in some bounce houses before heading off to church. When we got home, I somehow convinced Paige to take a nap when Michael did and Ashley and I prepared a bunch of bbq food and made some red and blue lollipops. (We tried to make them red and blue to be patriotic, but they just goo-ed together to make purple!) When Michael and Paige woke up, we had our bbq and then invited some of the neighbors over to watch James light off a bunch of firework fountains and eat popsicles. After that, James put Michael to bed while I took the girls to find some "big fireworks in the sky." It was a little disappointing because we got there too late to park in the park where they were lighting them off, but we found a nice church parking lot and watched fireworks from there. It was a busy day!

Too bad I cut the flag off!
