Independence Day

Its was sooooo HOT for the fourth of July here. I mean Over 100 degree Hot with an even higher heat index. High Heat + Good chance of Rain=We kept the kids indoors, instead of getting out to the beach or to the park.

Happy 4th Of July. Laylas 1st July 4th. Nana babysat while we took Parker to see the Fireworks (thank goodness because it poured down rain right before they started)

David and Parker getting ready to watch Preston light off some fireworks (didnt get pics of that)

100 degree heat, no nap + Carnival rides to big for little guys to ride=Crying toddler

Nice and dry..BEFORE the rain. We really thought it was NOT going to rain, but to our dismay it started pouring about 10 minutes before the fireworks were supposed to start.

We were soaked (my curly hair and Parker without his shirt) Note to self: Always bring an extra outfit for the kids! We got completely soaked but the kids still had fun (don't let the look on Parker's face fool you) It stopped raining AFTER we all RAN as fast as we possibly could to our car (which was not anywhere nearby). So we decided to stay (for the kids sake) and watch the fireworks. Despite them being wet, there were still plenty of Ohhs and ahhs

We weren't sure how Parker would react since this was his first year watching the fireworks. Lucky for us, he loved them. What a good sport!
