July Extravaganza 2011: The 4th

The 4th of July was a great celebration and we were able to partake in all of our wonderful traditions. First we went to the local diner and ate a yummy pancake breakfast. Then we headed to the parade, which I love and the kids love even more because of all of the treats they get. Plus I love to see all of the local businesses that make such creative floats and dress up. My favorite is the car wash guys (they are towards the bottom).
After the parade we relaxed and got ready for our big barbecue and firework show. We had tons of people this year and it was so fun to have so many people around. Dinner consisted of the classic summer barbecue treats and we ended the evening with sparklers and fireworks.

I almost didn't even recognize Lily, she is getting so big (and so are your other two!) and I can see her personality coming through in the pictures. My favorite is the one of the five of you at the parade, cute smiles!
