Our 4th of July Recap!

We had a FABULOUS FOURTH! We enjoyed a great BBQ with some good friends, the Blacks and the Germanes. We introduced them to Huckleberries by bringing over our last bag and throwing them into some HOMEMADE ice cream! SO GOOD!! While waiting for the ice cream to finish, we went to check out our little neighborhood's 4th annual 4th of July Parade! It's really cute- All the neighborhood kids decorate their bikes, scooter, stroller, and even power wheel Jeeps with anything red, white and blue! It's really adorable! Then they race around the block waving their flags and letting their streamers fly! It's such a great way to teach patriotism!

After heading back and devouring our ice cream, we packed up and headed to the Speedway for some Fireworks! Mason was soo excited to be up passed his bed time, but as soon as the fireworks started- he began to be quite unsure about the whole thing. He finally warmed up to them. In the video you can hear him say how "TALL" they are and some of the colors he's sees. At the end of the show, He looked up at me and wanted..."MORE BOOM!" I think next year we will introduce him to Sparklers!!! :D

I love the video. It looks like the perfect celebration. And that parade sounds like an ALL-AMERICAN event. I would have loved to see that.
