Happy 4th of July

We had great 4th of July this weekend (Sam says the best!) with our friends the Bywaters and Elletts.

The fun started with a festive 4th of July bike parade around the cul-de-sac




After some good food and outside play time the kids preformed a quick Independence Day skit so we could all be reminded of some of our American Heroes. Reed played a distinguished George
Washington (yes--that is a yarn ponytail), Sophia a lovely Betsy Ross and Liam a brave American solider. The kids were so cute. I wish I had the whole thing on video. I might have to have Reed get dressed up again so I can get his part recorded at least.



What would the 4th of July be without fireworks....




and some silly string!!!
