FOURTH OF JULY!!!

We spent the entire Fourth of July in our community this year. For the past two 4th of July's we have been out of town and we have missed the events our community puts on, but we made up for it this year!

We headed out early in the morning for the Pancake breakfast and to cheer on our neighbor's son in the 1K. It was SO precious to watch the kids run and the families/friends cheer them on. After the race we sat down and waited for the parade. It didn't entail too much, but it had a firetruck, police cars, kids on bikes etc...Emily loved the parade because they kept throwing candy out to the kids. Oh dear...

We came home for lunch and naps and then headed back out for the evening games and fireworks. The fireworks were amazing for just community fireworks. They lasted at least 15 minutes and they really didn't hold back. Very entertaining. We were sitting in a perfect spot to watch them all too. So fun!

It was SUCH A GREAT DAY!

P.S. There aren't any pictures of Brian because I pretty much had Kinley strapped to me throughout the day and didn't have access to the camera, so I had to keep asking him to take pictures of different moments...

Okay Emily is a mini Jennifer!! Soooo cute! And little Kinley is growing so fast. I think she looks like Emily did but it's still too soon to tell.

Glad you had a great 4th! Holidays are so much fun with kids!

Jennifer and Brian, What great pictures! They seem almost "live." Holidays and parades make fun memories. I miss not seeing you all in person, and that makes the pictures and videos much sweeter. Love the little swimmer video, too! Emily and Kinley are blessed having parents like you two!
