We had a wonderful 4th! We began the day by going to a parade--I loved seeing the sea of red, white and blue. The parade was very small, but just perfect for us. Landon enjoyed watching everyone go by and he sat so content in his stroller. It was very hot, luckily we found a nice spot in the shade.
Landon convinced Dad to get him a sucker from the candy that was being thrown from the floats...yummy!!
After the parade people gathered at the park for a festival complete with a band, hot dogs, sno-cones, watermelon, a dunking booth, and tons of other fun activities! A lady from the town sang "God Bless America" and as she finished the song doves were released out of a basket...so neat!
This is our friend, Ryan, dancing to the music. He is one of our neighbors and is a year and half older than Landon. It is cute when him and Landon play together, because he is so gentle with Landon.
After the parade and festival we were HOT!! So, we cooled off by going to the pool and hanging out with some friends. Landon is becoming very daring in the pool which makes me a tad nervous. He loves to play on the steps in the pool and free fall into the water--he thinks it is so funny--me not so much. He is completely fearless when it comes to going under the water. After the pool we came home to rest before the annual cul-de-sac cook-out and fireworks show. Unfortunately, I left my camera in the house during the evening, but I did take a picture of the dessert that I made. It is such an easy thing to make and it is so refreshing to eat during hot weather! It is red jell-o topped with whipped cream, then you top it with strawberries and blueberries...yum, yum!!

Landon actually stayed awake for the fireworks show this year...last year he was in bed sleeping, so this was his first time seeing them. He liked them as long as he was sitting in my lap, which I was completely happy with...there is nothing better than watching fireworks with someone you love! Hope that you all had a great 4th too!!
