Fourth of July

Our Fourth started with a neighborhood pancake breakfast and bike parade. The girls decorated their bikes and followed the vintage bicycle around the parade route. After the parade, we headed out to Melba for a small-town American parade. Melba never disappoints!After the parade, we rested for awhile, then spent the rest of the day making the pinwheels for these cupcakes!:-) No, not that long, but they did take MUCH longer than expected. One of those projects I started and had to finish. They turned out pretty cute, though!

Later in the afternoon, we attended the baptism of Livi's good friend, Chase. After the baptism, we joined his family for a yummy bbq. The kids had a great time playing Star Wars. Livi takes it a little more seriously than the others. . . We headed home and did a few fireworks. Lola LOVED the sparklers. Her face says it all!

Trenton was a little too young for the sparklers, so he opted for the hose. All in all, a great day!
