4th of July Fun

Little did we know... our new community has a BIG celebration for the 4th of July! So we spent a nice relaxing Saturday at home (still battling fevers and the stupid flu bug) and also go to enjoy a little fun at the local parade that afternoon. We didn't bother with fireworks, both kids were in bed by the time they started and the sound just scares them anyway. Maybe when they are a little older...

But we got a few cute pictures from the parade. Josiah had a lot of fun. He would see fancy cars and monster trucks and yell "MOM! Take a picture of THAT one!" so I have way too many pictures of nice cars. But, he loved it :) He also enjoyed the free candy and popsicle and funny Statue of Liberty hats that were given away to those watching. We had a good time. Poor Lydia needed her nap right then so our hero, Daddy, was back in the shade of a tree covering her ears from all the marching bands and letting her snooze in his arms. He's just the best!

Speaking of Daddy... here are also pictures of his new favorite toy. He's been just dying to get a bike trailer for the kids and take them on rides. Seriously, he's in heaven. They were pretty darn cute too. Lydia really did NOT like it, but she enjoyed it while we were riding. I think she just didn't like having to wear a helmet so she cried whenever we had to put it on or take it off. Poor little thing. But, they were pretty darn cute and it was nice to drive only half way and park out of traffic and then bike over to the parade.
Enjoy the pictures, hope you all had a great 4th too!
