4th of July

Happy (belated) Independence Day! This year we had the chance to wake up early and head down to the Dunwoody 4th of July Parade. Olivia stayed in the Baby Bjorn, and just stared in shock at everything. Owen had a GREAT time: firetrucks, police cars, floats, marching bands, school teams, clowns...and they all throw candy at you! This is a 3 year old definition of a good time. :) I love parades too. Make fun if you will, but I have a secret dream to go to NYC to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in person one day. I still watch it every year.
After the parade we gave everyone a nap and then headed to the Hinckley’s house for a BBQ and fireworks show. The kids got to do the sparklers, which Owen always approaches with anticipation and GREAT concern simultaneously. Then Mark put on a show for the kids when it was dark enough. They loved it! Owen always asks when we can do that again!
