Happy 4th of July!

We had such a good time on the 4th!

We went into town (North Wales) to catch a parade. It was a tiny one but just enough to keep the kids entertained with fire trucks, police cars, candy catching, kids on bikes, motorcycles, etc. We then followed the parade to the park where they had an old fashioned get together. No blow ups or high tech games. There was a bean bag toss, sack race, three legged race, greased pole climbing contest, pie eating contest, water balloon toss...the boys participated in nearly everything! They received tickets at each event that they could trade in for prizes like little flags, gliders, etc. It was so much fun! I didn't even realize that there WAS a party after the parade, so I didn't have my camera on me. Next year!

That evening we went to a nearby town for fireworks. It was raining so that delayed things a bit, but in the end it was a great display. Happy Birthday, America!!
