This year we decided to stick around town and do all the local festivities. They have them going on in every town. We live in a somewhat small town so we knew that things would be on a smaller scale, but we like to support our area. There was an early breasfast at the park...we all(5 1/2 of us) ate for 15$. It was pretty good too. We had ham, eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, milk and juice. I haven't been so full from breakfast in a long time. Then we had a parade just a block away from our house at 8:30. We met up with friends and ad a really good time. I was impressed with how good the parade was. Again, not a Macys Thanksgiving day parade, but impressive and fun....especially if you yell out the name of each float with some clapping and screaming and a "wahoooo for Clinton Dental, I love the dentist!!" like I do. We had a ton of fun! Then we headed home for nap time. I mowed the lawn while Todd edged and trimmed bushes. Then we bbq'd with our friends and neighors. Then we had another nap time in preparation for the fireworks and festivities. We headed to the park at about 6 and set up blankets. There was a free dinner there for residents which was bbq pulled turkey sandwiches, chips and cookies. There were a few booths and the kids played at the park. Because we live in a smaller area, it wasn't too crowded. The park did fill up, but it didn't feel like total chaos trying to find a place to sit. The girls loved the fireworks and then we only had a 3 minute drive home because of the traffic. I love the 4th of July!

Your girls are always adorable. I sure wish our town had a day full-o-fun for the 4th. I'm jealous!
