4th of July Fun!

This 4th of July was Avery's first second holiday....that means no more first holidays..very bittersweet!

Avery rode in her wagon to the parade...



She waited patiently for the parade to start...(no that is not her Diet Coke..it is momma's), she's more of a Dr. Pepper girl!



She watched most of the parade on her daddy's shoulders...



Then she decided it was time for a little snack!



Much later on that day, our entire family went to Mackenzie Park to watch the fireworks! We sat down at the park around 8:45 p.m. and waited, and waited, and waited...No fireworks. We had never gone to this park on the 4th before, so we weren't sure what to expect. Apparently, the people shooting the fireworks didn't know that children (and adults) have bedtimes! Ha, Ha! Anyway, we waited there until around 10:40 p.m. and then decided that they just weren't going to have fireworks this year. Then, on the way back to our cars, we saw the firework show beginning at 10:45 p.m. Just our luck! By this time, however, we were all so tired that we didn't even care anymore...we just got in our cars and watched the show on our drive home! No worries though...we had a great time bonding with our family members!!

Here we are waiting for the show to begin!



It's way past my bedtime!!!



Cousin Haley, I need some sugar!



I love Haley..she shared her push pop with me!



Happy 4th of July!
