July 4, 2009 - We started out the day with a pancake breakfast at our church. We were running late so we missed the flag raising - well, we saw it from the car on our way into the parking lot - but the pancakes were good!
Later that night, we headed out for the fireworks at our local community college in ridiculously cute outfits.
While waiting, there was a really nice band (no picture, I know - you're heartbroken) which Mom really enjoyed.
Even better, there were popsicles,
Even better, there were popsicles,
and funnel cakes,
and snacks galore.
Of course, Mom forgot the wipes or any sort of napkin.
L got cold, so spent the time snuggled up with Dad under the blanket.
Some people had these flashing tubes from a radio station. We missed out and W felt very bereft. Our "blanket neighbors" took pity and gave the kids their tubes which promptly turned into weapons.
Once the fireworks started, L still wasn't having fun, because they were too loud.
She got used to it, sort of.
M loved the fireworks. She kept saying, "Fireworks make me happy!!"
All in all, it was a great day.
