Happy Independence Day!

We had a wonderful 4th of July day! We started out watching a local parade with some friends, followed by the nearby fair booths where Sophie got a short pony ride & spent some time in a little petting zoo. She loved feeding the goat & sheep, as well as holding the poor rabbits...she never let go even when it was slipping through her fingers & dangling! Oh, our animal lover! (The love is just a little intense sometimes) :) After naps, we had a big group of friends over at our place for some yummy BBQ, socializing, swimming at the pool, fireworks in the street, & watching some late night big fireworks. We all met at the church building to park & then carpool to the stadium, but we ended up staying at the lot & having a great view of 2 different shows. I don't think Sophie has ever stayed up later than that, but I think she loved it all! What a fun-filled day!

Sophie had a moment or 2 when the fireworks scared her. This popsicle made such a mess! We will soon post the pic of her face after she was done...she seriously looks like the Joker!


The kiddies watching our street show





You can kind of see our neighbors across the street got in on the action.

Sophie's flag waving at the parade. It took her a while to figure out the whole thing (being her 1st parade)-even when they kept throwing out candy (we ate too much!), she was a little slow.



Our great spot
