Happy 4th of July

What a great 4th of July we had this year. Since the 4th was on Sunday we celebrated for 4 days straight. Boy were we tired by Monday night. When I say we I really meant Chloe and Tessa. On Friday we went to Plain City annual dinner. The girls LOVED their Popsicles. Tessa was to total mess after her Popsicle.
Chloe and Abby had so much fun dancing. They were so funny. What would it be like to be a kid again? They have no cares in the world. They were the only ones dancing and they were LOVING it!!!

The next morning we went to the Plain City parade. Tessa loved the parade and picking up candy.

Chloe was in the parade with her dance class. I don't think she danced the whole parade. She just sat there smiling.

After Plain City's parade we hurried down to Warren so Chloe could ride her bike in the parade. I am sure people wondered why she was wearing a dance costume. We just did not have time to change. Warren's parade cracked me up. It starts at one end of the park and goes to the corner and then everyone turns around and goes back. I guess that what a small town is all about.

After the parade we hurried back so Chloe could dance in the park in Plain City.

I did not get a good picture of the girls together in their cute 4th of July clothes. This is the best on I have.

After the celebration in the park we went to my parents to cool off. The girls love to swim.

Later that night Bryce set off some fireworks. Tessa had to much fun. Chloe was scared of the fireworks for some reason. She is going through a stage that she is scared of EVERYTHING!!! She is driving me crazy. I hope she grows out of it. After the fireworks we headed to Fremont for some more fireworks. Well that was a mistake. Both kids crying while Christopher and I are trying to have fun. Dang it we are having fun. Tessa fell asleep after watching 2 fireworks and then Chloe cheered up and had fun.

On the 4th we went to Christopher's parent for dinner and more fireworks.

Tessa really enjoying her popsicle.

All snuggled up ready for the fireworks. It was soooooooooo cold that night. Tessa did not last so we had to go in the house. Chloe was not scared this time. She actually loved the fireworks.

The next night we went to Farr West for their delicious dinner. They have the same dinner every year, Greek food. We never miss their dinner because it is sooo good and cheap. We decided the kids had had enough so we missed the fireworks. We had such a great weekend celebrating our freedom. I am so grateful to be part of this great nation where we are free to chose as we please.
