We went down to my parents this year for the 4th. We started the day out with the ward pancake breakfast at the park. Then back for the 18th annual neighborhood kid parade. (yes i did this when I was younger) This was my kids first year! Basically it's a bunch of kids that decorate their bikes and what not. Then back to the park for the neighborhood BBQ! Then I think it was nap time. And then we had a BBQ at my parents house and some fireworks at the end.. which my kids loved!


For some reason my daughter could not keep her finger out of her nose the entire day!
