Despite the rain, we had a very fun 4th of July. We started out the day with a BBQ at our friends, the King's (we had initially planned to meet at the park but the weather wasn't cooperating!). We grilled and had some yummy food and yes, I made my traditional flag cake! It was quite enjoyable. In attendance were Michael and Brinn King (with Brooklyn & Brielle), Aaron and Brynn Wikle (with Samantha), Chris and Heidi Annison (with Blake, us (with Alexa, of course), Adam Ripperdan, and Amanda Tracy (with Cason).
Alexa is getting so big! I looked back at the pictures from last year's 4th of July and she was just a little baby...but she wore the same skirt two years in a row!!! :-)
And of course we had to get the fun, very attractive eating pictures...thanks Brinn for taking those...I notice there are none of your family!!! :-)
Later that afternoon, after Alexa's nap, we met up with Brittany and Brandon Curfew who just moved here from Vegas. We checked out our community's festivities which included a free trolley ride. We also had to get a funnel cake...it's the 4th after all!!!...and it was soooo yummy! Sorry Brittany & Brandon that you guys got jipped on yours!!
After spending most of the day outside in the humidity and heat, we decided to put Alexa down for bed at her regular time, let her sleep for a couple hours, and then brave the fireworks downtown on the riverfront. We again met up with the Curfews and had a great time, despite the rain delays and technical difficulties (we thought the fireworks were supposed to start at 10:00 pm and they didn't start until 11:05). Oh well! We still had fun and Alexa did really well...she was even saying "more" when the fireworks first started!
Happy 4th of July everyone!

It looks like Alexa loved the fireworks. Tui did too. I was quite surprised because when my girls were that age they cried all the way through the fireworks.
