We had a fabulous July 4th... seriously one of my very favorite holidays!!
We started the day by spending a few hours up playing in the river! This time we brought a 'picnic' lunch and stayed for a bit longer. The kids also seriously enjoyed the innertube that Steve decided to bring, everyone got to take lots of turned it was so fun to watch them!
After naps for everyone, we headed to the traditional (well, traditional to Becca and her kids, we just went along for the food) dinner of KFC.
It was still too hot and too early to do many fireworks so we killed some time with a movie party!! The kids call all set up with blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, and lots of yummy treats!!
Needless to say, 4 kids don't make through an entire movie with a break so we did a few poppers and sparklers and then headed to the backyard to play!
While in the backyard we had rootbeer floats and roasted marshmallows over the fire pit!
We played outside forever and then finished the last 30 minutes of the movie. By that time it wasn't quite dark enough to watch any fireworks so we killed some more time with hide and go seek around the house in the dark- big hit!! We then went outside for the fireworks- our neighborhood was doing some really big ones so we got to see a lot! Hadley finally turned in around 10:30 and was very wound up!! But what a great day and she keeps talking about it!!
