4th of July


This year the boys & I spent the night at Grandma & Papa's house on the 3rd so that we wouldn't have to get up so early to get to the Summerlin 4th of July Parade.  Grandma & Papa got VIP seating for the parade (we got to sit under the shade covers with nice big fans & got food/drinks and fun 4th of July hats/necklaces/sunglasses, etc.)

 After the parade we went back to Grandma & Papa's house and swam and ate.  When it started to get dark we went out to do fireworks!

 We had a bunch of the snap poppers, the little boys were having a hard time throwing them hard enough to pop on the ground, so we dumped them on the sidewalk and jumped on them instead!  Thomas loved it!
 David (under Papa's supervision) was our official firework lighter this year
 and of course, you can't forget about the sparklers at the end!
