Our 4th of July

Our 4th was lovely!
But when are 3-day weekends not lovely?
No school for 3 days. No work for 3 days. What a treat!

We took full advantage and went to our local parade, it is always a winner.


These two were very interested in whatever was driving by at the time!

It was so good to see Sahara wanting Josh to hold her...or "holdu." Normally on weekends, she is a little freaked out that he is around so she is extra clingy to me, but this weekend-did I mention it was perfection? She remembered him and wanted him, two thumbs up!

Sahara was so excited about the lights, sounds, music, and candy that seemed to fall from the sky. It was adorable to see her dancing around, clapping, and throwing in a random line from her ABC's or Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star...that started when she saw that she and mommy had matching star shirts. 

This was the first 4th of July parade, just the three of us, it was so good to be with these two and celebrate our freedom. I couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed when the men with bagpipes walked by, we are so blessed and I know I take that for granted.

After the parade, we headed to my parent's cabin to spend time together as a family, the cherry on top of our weekend!

I hope you all had a lovely holiday filled with lots of food, family, fun, and fireworks!
