We started out our Independence Day festivities by going to a cute little local parade that goes right in front of a family friend's front yard. We met M's family there and had VIP seats to enjoy the show!
A had a blast! He was fascinated by everything going past and especially loved that candy kept getting thrown at him. I have never been to a parade with so much candy! It was perfect for A's first parade!
Then in the afternoon, we met up with our friends Ammon and Lauren because A loves hanging out with their 3-year-old son, Logan. Older kids fascinate A and he always seems enamored when he gets to hang out with big kids. So he was in heaven!
We went to the Natural Curiosity Museum and the two boys played and explored until they were both exhausted. It was so cute to watch them {and their dads, who also tend to act like kids...}
After the museum, we stuck with tradition and had a delicious BBQ in our backyard.
Because he had been so terrified by them last year, I was curious to try fireworks with A this year... but he was so exhausted that he went to bed early instead.
I was really tired too... and fell asleep by 9 pm! {Poor M! Being roommates with a pregnant wife and a toddler doesn't really make for an exciting late night party!} But I woke up around 10 when I heard fireworks outside, so we went outside to watch the fireworks throughout the valley.
It was a great holiday! I'm so grateful to live in this country and for my cute little family!!
