4th of July

On the 4th of July we attended the Magna parade near our home. It was an overcast day and we even got sprinkled on a bit, but it was better than a hot, blazing sun. I even packed lunches for everyone.

There were a couple of clowns that were quite fun.

Violet had her ups and downs. She did clap and get excited about some things.

Adelle is always excited for parades, especially when candy is thrown.

She jumps up and down and waves to everyone. She was so tired by the end of the parade. She loved the Magna Royalty.

You would think she had springs in her feet.

Violet did NOT like the loud, honking trucks and fire engines. It made her cry.

Eventually she cheered up again :)

After the parade we headed home to relax and Violet napped. Later that evening Wes' family came over and we had a BBQ and fireworks. We almost didn't need to do our own fireworks. The laws were changed to allow certain arial fireworks and I think our neighbors were overly excited about it. Everywhere you looked there were bursts of color. Violet was pretty crabby so she went to bed and missed all the fun. We missed Lydia too. She was with her dad.
