4th of July Festivities

I don't have a whole lot of pictures but we had a really fun 4th of July this year. The first event was our annual neighborhood 4th of July party. There was food, a live band, swimming at the pool, crafts, face painting, and a few fun games. Not to mention the fireworks show at the end of the evening. The weather was perfect and everything turned out great.

Then on the actual 4th of July when we had family in town we headed down to Franklin on the Fourth, a festival in our area. They advertised a nice kiddie area but the prices were pretty steep so we let the kids each pick one thing to do. Lily opted for the pony ride. Wasn't she cute?

Avery and Camryn chose this bungee jumping bouncing thing. It looked like jumping on a trampoline in a harness, not too exciting to me. But they had fun. And Avery did a backflip. 

 We bought some super long overpriced corn dogs and then we went home. It was hot and we cooled off at the neighborhood pool. The kids wore all the adults out and I fear that they will want ME to be throwing them up into the air and giving them piggyback rides every time we go to the pool now.

That night we went to see the fireworks in Franklin and our seats didn't end up being that great, but the girls had fun catching fireflies and enjoying the company of the family we had there. It was a great 4th and the weather couldn't have been better! Hope you all had a nice one too.
