4th of July

We had a fun time on the 4th of July. We went to the big parade, as usual, with the Smiths and a lot of friends.

The girls LOVE their cousins, and were so happy to get to spend some time with Hadley.

 Kimee and Blake got to go up and break boards in a karate demonstration.

We had a bit of a scare right at the end when we were packing up to go. Maddi walked off and we didn't realize it for several minutes. I started walking towards the car to look for her, and then kept going straight. I found her across the street, actually walking back towards where we were. She was pretty far away amongst TONS of people. When I found her, she was not crying or anything. She said, "Mom, I lost."

Before going home, we went to Brick Oven and had a delicious lunch, and drank TONS of rootbeer :)

Nothing like a good nap on the hammock :)

Later that night, we did sparklers, which the girls LOVED! We watched TONS of fireworks from our porch, and then some more from our neighbors lawn. 

Happy Independence Day, USA!
