Independence Day!
--------
We had a great time in our Neighborhood this Independence Day...I cannot say it enough---I love our Neighborhood, the neighbors and ALL of the kids!!! On Friday Night, we had Preston and Ashten's friends over and their parentals to decorate for the Big Neighborhood Parade on Saturday....
The boys-Preston and Jackson decorating the Jeep for the big day...As boys, they were not so much interested in the decorating part but rather playing and jumping!
Saturday Morning we got up and geared up for the Big Parade.....and a long day of fun activities...
Here was the final product of our decorating efforts....
(Cameron, Ashten, Preston, and Jackson)
Mommy and Ashten conversing with all the neighbors before the Parade began...
We started off all together...but the Jeep soon took off and left the stroller kids behind!
After the Parade, the kids enjoyed popsicles....and a little park time with friends....
After the Parade, Park and a little lunch the boys took a nap before we let off a few firecrackers of our own with the neighbor kids...It was the first time Mommy has ever purchased such products...and suprisingly...I had a little too much fun picking out small things for Preston to watch getting lit up~....Then we headed up to our neighbors to Barbeque and let off MORE fireworks..and watch the BIG show put on by a few surrounding friends...
Ashten playing through a window with Kasey!
Mommy and Preston enjoying some of the nights entertainment....
and of course some cuddle time with Daddy! It was a great night and Preston was up WAY too late...but it was all worth it....he really enjoyed the show and was on his best behaviour...Ashten enjoyed most of the evenings events in the pack n play fast asleep....maybe next year he will see his first sparkle of money being blown up!
