The weekend had promising plans, until the rain...it's rained and rained...I don't remember a year with this much rain for the July 4th holiday..We tried to forge ahead anyway, and yesterday headed out to Sante Fe Lake to spend the afternoon and evening with friends. The kids enjoyed being outside regardless of the damp weather and at times downpour, and it beat being at home doing nothing, but by the time evening came, we were ready to get into some dry clothes..although Parker did say that she was disappointed that we were leaving so early. With all that rain, they called the fireworks show that was supposed to happen...This morning we woke up to more rain! We all took great naps this afternoon, and finally it stopped long enough for Chris to take Parker to buy some fireworks to do in the driveway! We had grandma and grandpa Rick over for a fried chicken dinner from KFC, and then enjoyed brownies and fireworks until bedtime. We also introduced the girls to lighting bugs, and the girls and Chris enjoyed catching a few! All in all it turned out to be a decent day. I'm glad that we ventured out on Thursday night to catch a big fireworks show in Bradley Fair, as it's the only show we got to see this year! Below is a few pictures from the last few days! Happy 4th of July!
The girls got in their jammies to head out to watch the fireworks on Thursday night
They thought it was fun to sit in their chairs and in the back of daddy's car waiting for the show to start
They were pretty good, and the picture would have turned out better without the light poll in the way~
Daddy helping the girls light the smoke bombs...
The grand finale...
