We enjoyed every second of our July 4 holiday this year for many reasons. First off, it was barely 80 degrees! I'm sure reading back on this years from now, I'll think that must be a typo. But the weather was AMAZING and we spent the entire day outside enjoying it!
We started the day off with the Brierwood Parade! It was the first time that our neighborhood has had a parade in five years, so it was our family's first and we had a blast. The kids and I had decorated their bikes on Thursday afternoon and they were excited. Of course the best part was running through the firetruck spray at the end.
Then on to the neighbors for some playing and swimming with our Brierwood friends. We came home for a quick lunch and a bit of rest before heading out for pool party number two! We then spent the entire afternoon swimming and relaxing at another friend's house followed by a cookout. We weren't sure if we could all stay awake for the fireworks show, but after a super fast shower we all got our second wind and headed out for a fantastic show! Swimming and sun all day with no naps and fireworks until 10:00 p.m. meant we had some very tired kiddos, but it was worth it! It was a great day. One of my very favorite days ever.
