4th of July 2014

This year we stuck around here for the 4th of July.  We hadn't made any concrete plans because we weren't sure the baby would even wait this long to come.  So finally the night before we decided that he probably was going to wait for at least one more day and made plans to go to the neighborhood parade and breakfast at Grammie and Papa's.  The kids were really excited because they got to ride their bikes in the parade.  
 Grammie helped them get their bikes all decorated and they looked super cute!  Grammie and Papa were on a tandem bike and lead the parade.   The kids had a great time zooming up the street on their bikes.  After the parade, we stuck around at the park for a while and had breakfast and a short program with some patriotic songs.  
After that we took the little kids back to the house for naptime and dad took the girls out on the lake for a canoe ride.  We have been talking about doing that ever since mom and dad moved to Daybreak but never have done it.  It looked really fun and dad said they all had a great time.
 After naps we went to the Herriman splash park to get out of the heat.  This splash park is really great and I love it because I don't have to worry about the kids.  They just play in the water and keep cool and it's fun for everyone!
 We ended the day with a bbq and fireworks at our house.  We had some friends and neighbors join us that night and it was fun to just sit and enjoy the fireworks and celebrate!  
 Happy 4th of July!  Now we can have a baby!
