We had a great 4th of July! The boys participated in the annual community bike parade - decorated their bikes all up the night before and were ready to ride the morning of. The parade ends at the Community Park where there is a huge carnival free to all who come! It's a wonderful event and one we can't wait for every year!
I had fun making the boys' shirts for this year! They only lasted a few hours since they ended up getting soaked at the carnival - but I'm glad that I snapped pictures of them beforehand...I can't promise how well they'll hold up in the wash :)
It was so hot (as you all know) - so we only stayed a couple hours and then came home to cool off and get ready for our neighborhood BBQ! If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen many of these - but I feel I need to document them here too! Allie and Landon are so damn cute - I can't help but snap a million photos of them each time they are together. Trust me, I love my other child just as much - but he's too busy running wild for me to every get photos of him!
This was the first year we let the littles (Allie & Landon) stay up for fireworks - I'm so glad we did, they loved them! This is the last year they are legal up here where we live, so thankfully some of our neighbors went all out and we were able to get one last good local show! No idea what we'll do next year; hopefully the community will put together a show!
I have always wanted to try my hand at capturing words or designs made by sparklers and this year I finally pulled out the tri-pod and did it! I love them! I could use some practice, but I'm happy with what I got without any practice!
Thank you to all the men & women who fight everyday so that we can live in a country filled with freedom! Happy Birthday 'Merica!
