We love the Fourth of July around here. Richard, Hannah, Ella, and I were all in our patriotic colors. In the morning I took the kids to a local parade. It was hot but fun.
Chris and I started a tradition nine years ago, two days after our wedding. We take a bucket of KFC to the park and hang out for hours until fireworks. This year Chris's sister and her kids joined us for the fun.
My beautiful baby and me.
Colby was really excited to have yummy treats.
Ella loves to play with Daddy.
The kids played catch, Frisbee, and flies up while we waited. They were quite patient.
When it was dark enough we broke out the sparklers. I think Chris had as much fun as the kids.
I love this picture. Chris lit the last box of sparklers all at once but the kids were all too scared to try to take one. And they burnt out very quickly. At the end Chris said, "Well, that was fun for me."
Despite being exhausted at this point, Ella really enjoyed the fireworks. We had a terrific spot to view the fireworks but it resulted in fallen ash all over us. Luckily they were not hot, just a little annoying. But I think all in all it was a fun Fourth.
We had so much fun! Thanks for letting us tag along! Great pics!
