Happy July 4th

I hope everyone had a great July 4th yesterday. We sure did! It was busy but fun. We spent most of the day with our friends Jeff, Andrea, Zack and Ethan. The day started out early as we headed downtown Edmond about 8:00 am for the Parade. The weather was actually nice for the first hour or so. We were sitting close to the end of the parade so it wasn't too crowded. The kids enjoyed playing before the parade started but got bored quickly once it did start. Caden and Ethan thought it was REALLY loud and were holding their ears through most of the first part when the fire trucks went past. Caleb really enjoyed looking at the different cars in the parade. He is a car guy just like his daddy.

After the parade we went home for lunch and to rest up a little before heading to our neighborhood pool. The HOA had pool games for the kids to play and provided hot dogs, chips, watermelon, brownies, lemonaide and other goodies.

Later we went out to Kickingbird Golf course. You have to buy your ticket in advance and they only let in a select number so it wasn't too crowded. They had a decorated mini putting green set up for the kids. They had the driving range open and had a scavenger hunt. They provided hot dogs, chips, drinks and snow cones at VERY reasonable prices. (Yes, this means I got to pig out twice in one day.) After dark we were all sitting in our lawn chairs and/or blankets on the 9th green to watch the fireworks show. Caleb enjoyed it and Caden did too for a while, but she still thought it was too loud. She crawled up in my lap and feel asleep by 10:30. All in all we had a great July 4th!
