4th of July Festivities

We spent the 4th of July by going to the Murray Parade, where the girls loved collecting all the candy that was thrown at us.  We then went to a BBQ at my parent's house, where we celebrated one of Addie's cousin's birthdays and ate some yummy food in the rain!  We took a break for Izze's nap then headed over to Andrew's parent's house for another BBQ and some fireworks.  Addie could hardly contain herself all day wondering when it was going to be firework time.  She loved setting out the fireworks and playing with the sparklers.  Izze was unsure of the whole thing and chose to sit on my lap most of the night, which was fine by me.  As we were driving home we had another firework show as we watched all the aerial fireworks from lots of neighborhoods.  Once we hit our neighborhood we could barely make it to our house for all of the fireworks in the streets, it sounded like a war zone out there. 

At the parade, Izze still in shy mode
