It was a rare gorgeous day for the 4th of July. Our summers really do not start until after the 4th, but this year we had an early treat. We took the kids to a local parade and they had a lot of fun. There was so much candy thrown around I though I had the wrong month! Trevor came home with so much candy it was crazy. The girls even scored a couple of suckers. They were so excited! Allie and Kara loved seeing everything going by. They kept commentary through the whole parade :) Afterward we walked down to the duck dash. Of course on the way back both girls wanted to be carried and it was uphill! Scott got his workout in for the day.
We had a late dinner then went outside and got ready for fireworks. We let off a few in the backyard and then got ready to watch the neighbors. They had put on quite a show! Kara was not happy about the "pretties in the sky". So I went inside with her for awhile, then later Scott came in with her. Allie on the other hand could not get enough of the "pretties in the sky". Trevor was just over excited and hooting and hollering and running around crazy every time one went off. He was loving it!
While inside with Kara we made smores for everyone. She put on the chocolate and marshmallows. She loved watching them spin around in the microwave. We then took them outside for everyone to enjoy. That helped a little. But as soon as it really started getting loud we headed back in the house with her.
It was around 11:30 when things settled down and we were finally able to put the kids to bed. The next morning Allie kept asking to see more "pretties in the sky", while Kara said she did not want to see them :) Good thing Kara gets to wait a few months before people are letting them off again.
