July 4th with Friends

Those are some super cute kids, huh! All dressed up for the 4th!
We celebrated the 4th by joining our friends for a parade in Clifton Park. Sadie started off by not wanting to watch the parade. She has not been into "shows" ever since our trip to Disney World and she was scared of the Parade and the loud noise. She was being very cranky about it all and wanted to go home, but shortly into the parade... she learned that the people in the parade throw candy out to the kids. Her outlook on parades did a complete 180 and she was soon out in the middle of the road on the hunt for all the candy she could find. It was so cute as she would get a piece of candy and run it back to Nick and then run back out to the road! She continues to surprise us all the time!

After the parade, we went back to our friends house and had some quiet time as some of the kids rested, while the others played. We had some grown up time and played a fun game of domino's and ate all the yummy summer food! It was a perfect evening for a BBQ and outside family fun. We headed home before the fireworks... just not ready yet as a family to stay out that late!

Overall it was a great day!
