Baby You're a Firework

On the actual holiday, we woke up for our traditional pancake breakfast and went to the local parade. After that, we waited for the BBQ and fireworks. IT WAS PERFECT.

 Look at the reflection of the paint of the truck... I love it!

 Loved this float!!! So creative!

 And this is what followed...

 Gian's people float.

 He was pooped!

 My ultimate favorite float EVER! The local gas station makes up their own dance

while dressed in their traditional 50's work attire.

 My parent's house is the only one on the street, so kids have free and safe range 

to do whatever their hearts' content!

 Eating the best BBQ.

 We always need sparklers!

 Hunter saw me put on my belt so he was sure to wear

his all day long... even in his PJ's Hahaha

Lily's 1st Birthday, Arcade, and Bon Fire

After Bear world, we went back to the house to celebrate Lily's 1st birthday. Way to go Brittany... you are a good host and party planner because that was a great party! Everyone ate dinner on their own, and after, they came over to the house for cake and ice cream, fireworks, sparklers, and just to play. They all had a great time! {PS These photos are in no particular order}

 Lils loved to dip her fingers into the cake and then shove them into her mouth.

Hahahhaha so cute!

 The Arcade is in the local movie theater that also has a bowling alley. We went her just for the games after dinner one night. The kids loved playing the games to win tickets to cash in for toys and candy. They even hit a few jack pots. Look at the joy in their faces!

 The bon fire was sweet and simple. We roasted SUPER SIZE mallows which turned into s'mores and smelled like smoke for the rest of the night.

 Why and how am I making the same lame and crazy face?
