We had a really nice 4th of July! Nick actually took it off of work this year so that was even better! We decided that we were not going to try and take Max to the fireworks so we went to the parade in the morning to make sure we did something fun to celebrate.
We got the the parade about a half hour early, easily found parking and a great spot to sit! I was most worried about this because we weren't all that familiar with the area the parade was in so I wasn't sure how that would be. Max slept until the police cars came through, but thankfully he didn't cry or fuss - just woke up :) Ella did really great! She was clapping and waving to everyone who went by and even learned that it is important to have a hand out for candy ;)

After the parade we just played at home and grilled out for dinner. Nick and I played Skip-Bo during Ella's nap, and Nick had a cute little assistant.
After the kiddos were in bed we were able to watch fireworks in the distance from 5 or 6 different communities from our bedroom window... and thankfully Ella & Max slept right through them!
Hope everyone had a great day!
