Happy 4th of July!

I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July! Our 4th started by going to the Indian Trail Parade. We thought that it started at 10:00 so we got there at 9:30. After waiting 30 minutes we saw a sign that said the parade starts at 11:30. That was okay because we had a great seat to see the parade (the back of our van). Jon and Jennifer and their girls met us there and we all watched the parade together. The kids loved waving to all the floats. They enjoyed catching the candy. Taylor got the hang of that pretty quick. She had a bag full when it was all over. After the parade we came back home and put Zachary down for a nap. We went over to my mom's house for a cookout. We had such a great time. After dinner we headed down town to see the fireworks. For years now we have always watched the fireworks at Saint Mary's Chapel. It's such a great view. The fireworks are right on top of you. Zachary enjoyed throwing Pop Rocks at his Poppy's feet. He would laugh so hard when my dad would jump! Once the fireworks started Zachary was scared. About 10 minutes in he started to watch them without squeezing your neck off. Overall I think he enjoyed them. He liked seeing all the different colors. We were all very tired on the way home but we had a great 4th!
