I seriously love July. It seems like the 4th always comes SO quick! It's one of my favorite days of the year. We went to the Wheaton fireworks on the 3rd. Ryan made a huge grocery bag of popcorn for us and some friends. I wasn't sure if the kids would like the fireworks because Parker was scared of them last year and Adley doesn't usually like loud noises. They both dug in to the popcorn like they're never eaten before, and they never took their eyes off the fireworks. There was popcorn everywhere, but it was really cute. One of those special times that we don't have pictures of, and that's ok. I'd rather enjoy it in the moment =) After they were over, we walked back to the car, and Parker was asleep before we even got out of our parking spot. Adley replayed the night in her head for awhile and then fell asleep shortly before we got home.
The next morning, we went to the parade with Mike, Mark, and some new Wheaton friends.
Parker loved the marching band.
He sat down and started playing the drums on his legs.
Later that day we went to the Knapps for an afternoon with our best friends.
There are 5 couples and 10 kids!
These two have been friends since in the womb ;) I can't believe how big they are!
The littlest of them all, Marlowe Mae, gave lots of smooches to Uncle Ryan.
We all went swimming, and then we came back to play some more, cook out,
have our own private fireworks show,
and a campfire (complete with peanut butter s'mores).
Happy 4th of July!!
