Typically part of my family joins us for the 4th but this year it was just us and we weren't sure what our plan was. So we did what we always do...things at our own pace and what sounds good at the time. We made it to the parade just in time for it to start...we still aren't early risers.
My favorite part about the parade and the 4th of July overall is the patriotic aspect. It always makes me so emotional to think about the things people have done and continue to do for our freedoms.
After the parade we headed to the car but ran into some friends and spent a couple hours just visiting.
That afternoon Chris and Krissy joined us for dinner and to hang out. It was so fun to get to meet Tripp since it was the first time in person for all of us.
We enjoyed having them until it was bedtime. We were hoping they would be able to stay longer but totally get when kids need to go to bed.
Amy and Perry's road started putting on a parade last year and now have made it a tradition of sorts. They invited us to join them. The girls all rode and decorated their bikes. We thought Liam might want to ride the lawn mower but when it came down to it he decided to stay and catch candy.
