We had a crazy busy fourth. In the morning we took the kids down to the Liberty Day parade. This is my favorite parade as it is very low key. It reminds me of the small town parades I remember from my distant youth. The kids love it because everyone throws candy.
At the end of the parade the firemen squirt the bystanders with the fire hose. I guess there were complaints so this year they held the hose up in the middle of the street and hollered, "If you want to get wet, get in the street." So it was like a giant sprinkler. It was very refreshing as it was starting to get hot.
We then picked up some fried chicken and other low calorie food and had a picnic at the park. By that time is was getting rather toasty so we all played in the fountain.
After everyone had a bit of a rest (supposed to be a nap, but that didn't happen) we ran out to a couple of BBq's. The second one was a family event at my sisters house. The beautiful model in the above picture is my neice Aubrey holding the family supply of poppers. They lasted less then a minute. We stayed there and lit off the fireworks with only one mild burn among all the children.
We left my sisters at about 11:00 and headed home (did I mention we rode our bikes to everything?). By the time we got home the kids had both fallen asleep on the bike of Michael's bike. The were both sitting up and completely asleep.
