4th

I started off the day by taking the kiddos to the 4th of July parade. I was a little worried about taking both kids, but luckily my sister was able to come with us and help out pushing one stroller. Sydney loves parades and had been excited for weeks for the 4th. The parade was lots of fun and even Landen did great! He loved watching until the end when the fire trucks and police cars came through with their sirens on and he got scared pretty good. 

After the parade we got together with friends for swimming and a barbecue. Sydney loved having friends to play with and it we had lots of yummy food! We all left and went home and napped in preparation for staying up late for fireworks! When it was time we loaded up and headed to the Pasco side of the river to watch. The kiddos loved it and it was so worth keeping them up way past bedtime! The 4th is one of Sydney's favorite holidays and she is already counting down for next year.

We are so grateful for this country we live in and for the freedoms we enjoy! We are so blessed to live here!
