We usually aren't home for the 4th of July, but we were this year and we had a lot of fun. We actually had about a week of festivities. Our fun started on the Sunday before the 4th (June 29). We went to Crocker Park to watch fireworks. Our friends parents live above one of the stores at Crocker so the kids got to play and hang out in their apartment before all of the fun.

On July 3rd, we went with our neighbors to watch Fireworks in the next town over. We got there early to get a good parking spot so we had fun hanging out with them and letting the kids play before the Fireworks started. It was a great show!
Matt and I like to make special meals for the boys on the holidays. For breakfast on the 4th, we made the boys flag waffles and sausage and red and blue milk. Here is a pic of their breakfast:

We had our neighbors over for dinner on the 4th. Here are a couple pictures of the 4th of July food we made. We forgot to take a picture of our fruit that looked like a flag :(
Taco Dip
Red, White and Blue Punch
After dinner, we went to our neighbors for a fire, sparkers and s'mores. The kids played hide and seek outside as well and had a blast. Sitting on the patio. we could see three different fireworks shows, as well as some shows from surrounding neighbors.
