It was a picture perfect 4th of July in our little village. And, it was our first here!
This year I decided to make their 4th of July outfits. I feel so lucky that they humor me and wear them.
We packed up our bikes and rode just two blocks to see the parade. We met our neighbors there so Magnolia got to watch the parade with one of her favorite friends, Bryn.
I love the excitement on the girls' faces!
After sweating it out through the parade we joined the masses on the trek to our wonderful park where we were met with relief of the lake breezes. Magnolia and George played games.
Magnolia did some face painting. She really stumped her with asking for a unicorn on her forehead!
While we waited, George started to wilt.
And this is the unicorn she got! We quickly gave it a lot of admiration before she could be disappointed and after a while, she forgot about it.
We even got to see another favorite friend and neighbor, Natalie, who was working a game.
This fishing game was a repeat for both kiddos.
We ate sliders, cheesy fries, and elephant ears. We drank tons of water. We sat in the shade, listened to the music, and then climbed back onto our bikes for the ride home. After long naps and dinner, we went back to the park for the kids' first fireworks. They were so excited for this and while they both loved them and hated them at the same time, they are still talking about them and have asked when we would see them again. I'd say it was a pretty perfect 4th of July!
