Madison has been waiting all year for the fourth of July. She loves to wear her fourth of July dresses and she remembered how much fun we had in Utah last fourth of July. She assumed we would be in Utah again this fourth and I was so worried about breaking her heart when she realized we weren't getting on the plane to go see our grandmas and grandpas. Being pregnant and traveling with with both girls to Utah this summer just wasn't going to work out. Luckily we were still able to have lots of fun even though we weren't with family.
The Friday before the fourth was our towns big firework show! We braved the crowds and headed down to a park near the big show! There was so much room to watch the fireworks, run around, and play! The girls loved playing, blowing bubbles and wearing their glow sticks. The firework show was amazing and it was worth going even though we got home pretty late.
The actual fourth of July Jake had to work. I wasn't brave enough to do the parades my by myself with the girls but we had a great time going to a park that morning and having a picnic together in the sun. We were invited to a fun BBQ with some friends and it was such a great time! They had made a bike friendly car wash for the kids to run through and Emerie loved the baby swing in the tree. The girls got their faces painted and Madison even sang karaoke for everyone. She is such a performer! We walked over to the nearby elementary school to watch the local fireworks and Madison spent a lot of the time running around catching fireflies. It was a great night and the girls had a blast!
