Our 4th of July

Taylor will be 4 this year, and Ryder will be 2. And neither had EVER seen fire works. David worked at a different place all the other years and wasn't off on the 4th so we were never able to really do anything fun at all. This year he had the whole day off, and I knew I wanted the kids to have a great 4th of July.

I added the photos but now I don't have time to get them in order, or the right way :/ So here is how our day went!

We went to the parade. (The kids FIRST parade!) And they loved it! The fire trucks, loud cars, and of course the CANDY!

Then we went to eat and come home for naps. Went back around 8 30 and found a spot to watch the fire works at 10. The kids were GREAT! And had a blast with glow sticks, pop corn I made, and of course watching the fire works. Ryder tried to sleep through them tho...........
