4th of July

We hope that everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July!  We had a fun day the McQuality household. As always, we made the boys a festive breakfast.  This year they had American flag and star pancakes, bacon and blue milk.  They ate on flag plates and used flag forks as well!

After breakfast, we participated in the bike parade in our neighborhood.  It was the first year for the event and it was so much fun.  The boys decorated their bikes and rode in the parade.  With parents and all the kids, it was about 200 people.  We started at the pool, rode on the bike path through the park, turned right on North Park and headed back to the pool.  Streets were blocked off for us so we didn't have to worry about traffic.

Everyone got ice cream or popsicles after the bike parade.

All of us in our red, white and blue!

After the parade, we went to the pool for a few hours.  The boys wore their new 4th of July swim trunks!

Matt got tickets to the Indians game from his work for Monday night. We were so excited to have great seats, watch the game, and see amazing fireworks afterwards.  However, things didn't go as planned.  When we got there, they were in a rain delay and the game wouldn't start again (in the 1st inning) until around 10:00.  We left after about an hour.

We walked to the restaurant "Paninis" right by the stadium and ate dinner.  Then, we stopped to watch Fireworks in Westlake on our way home, which were really good.

Our night didn't go as planned, but we still had fun.  Happy 4th!!
