Independence Day Celebrating

We celebrated July 4th with great weather - finally!  While the rest of the country has been sweltering with heat, it has been downright cold here.  We finally got a day in the 80's for the 4th.  Our family spent the day in Wilsonville with family.  We started with a parade in the neighborhood that both my sister Amy and her family live as well as Dan's parents.  There was a fire truck that led a parade of kids throughout the neighborhood.  It was very cute and very fun.  After the parade the neighborhood hosted a picnic.

Tons of pictures...get ready!

 Holly is dressed up and ready to be in the parade!

Waiting for all the cousins to have their bikes decorated.  Elliott requested a green balloon because it's his favorite color.  At least he had patriotic streamers.

All 8 cousins ready to go!

We spent the remainder of the day with Dan's family celebrating the 4th.  Dan bought a box of fireworks and some sparklers and did a little show for us.  Amy and her boys came over to enjoy it with us.  Fireworks were VERY exciting to the boys, especially Caleb who said how "awesome!" every single one was.
