We started our 4th off by baking! The kids love to help in the kitchen, so they were so excited. First we made blueberry muffins for breakfast and then we made cupcakes!
While we waited for the cupcakes to bake and cool we all snuggled up on the couch and watched How to Train Your Dragon. Then it was time to decorate.
Most of the day we relaxed and watched TV.
I also gave Kelly and myself Mommy Daughter
festive mani pedis.
For dinner instead of the traditional hamburgers and hot dogs Jacob made the fish that Grandpa had brought us on their visit. It was so good, and of course we had our yummy cupcakes for dessert.
I loved the outfits they picked for this year.
Kelly loves her kitties, so her shirt not only had fireworks, but also a kitty.
And Austin showed off his new love of baseball.
Shortly after dinner we headed over to the park where they had jumpy houses, all kinds of treats (snow cones, ice cream, popcorn and more), and one of the policemen did tractor train rides. This park had 3 different playgrounds and the kids loved going to all the different areas to play. We will be coming back to this park during the week to run off all that energy of theirs.
We got a great seat for the fireworks and before the show started the kids got their glow bracelets out that I picked up at the store and spent the time catching lightning bugs.
Happy 4th of July!
