4th of July Fun!

Wow!  This is the most updated I have been on the blog in a long time!!! :)  

We had a fun filled 4th of July that started with red, white and blue pancakes.  We went to a parade in the heat.  The parade was great - tons of bands, dance crews and even a camel!  All was going well until an unanticipated "shot" went off by an artillery club right by us.  It totally freaked out Maddie and Dane.  Matt was a bit under the weather so we just hung out until fireworks later that night.  Maddie loved the fireworks again this year, but Dane was not a fan.  He did not even want to be outside when they were going off.  So, we went to the car, (had to start it up because we needed AC) and we listened to his favorite CD.  I thought he would fall asleep because it was so late - ha.  Instead, he told me the name of every song and was singing along with the CD.  Both kids went to bed around 10:30 and we are still paying the price! 

 Waiting for fireworks!
