4th of July Fun

We had a lot of fun over the 4th of July and weekend with my sister and her family being home and catching up with friends and neighbors. 

Wednesday, I left work to pick up Oliver early and went to my parents to play with my sister and her family. Oliver had the best time playing with Ian and Annaliese but also to Uncle Darrin.  

Thursday was our County's Annual 4th of July Parade and we all went to sit and watch the parade but mostly watch the kids reaction to the entries and the candy. It was a hot day with the sun beating down on us but it wasn't as hot as it had been in previous years. 

He loved his American Flag 

Anytime a Caterpillar 

Tractor

 

Or firetruck would go by Oliver would stop picking up candy and watch with amazement.

But then it was back to picking up candy

That night my whole family got together with my Godparents and their family for a cookout before some when to fireworks while we went home because we all worked on Friday and Oliver had to go to daycare. 

Friday night Shawn and I went up to one of our neighbors acreage where most of our neighborhood was at to enjoy a night of good food, fun, and fireworks! 

Next year we'll have to take Oliver to fireworks to see how he likes them. He definitely liked the snap dragon poppers we did at home. 

We took it easy over the weekend and got a lot done inside and outside of the house including Oliver splashing outside in the pool which now looks so small for him.
