The 4th!

This year our 4th of July started with church! We had a special service with a pancake breakfast...we had to get all the kids up and out the door by 7:30!! Not an easy task!


After church, the girls changed into their leotards, I did their hair, and we were off to march in the Bothell parade!


This was Sadie's first time walking in the parade and she was pretty excited.








Sadie fizzled out before the parade even started! It was to be expected, she's not really a fan of walking long distances. She and Lola took turns riding in the stroller and riding on shoulders.
After we finished, we were able to catch the rest of the parade!

The trucks were loud!
Red and blue Sno-cones!!


After the parade we headed to our friend's house for some yummy food, lots of laughs, and a great fireworks show over the lake! We are so thankful that we have friends that will invite our whole crazy family over!! :)


It was fun to spend time with and admire baby Eli, just two weeks old! Lola did not like me holding him!


Dinner outside in the rain!



And some pre-fireworks show fireworks!



While everyone else sat out on the deck to watch the show, Lola crashed on the couch in my arms and we took a breather from our looooong day!

We're still recovering!!!! ☺
