Our Independence Day was great. I was going to run a 5k early in the morning, but that got canceled (I was really irritated about that). After the kids got up, I got them ready and we walked to Main Street for the parade. Michael, who had help with a community breakfast, was already there saving a spot for us. He and I took turns holding Sarah and keeping her out of the sun and standing in the street with the other two girls, helping them collect candy. I wish I gotten a picture of some of the cooler floats. It was really fun though and the weather was gorgeous. We had perfect parade weather. After getting home, eating lunch, and making Jillian take a short nap, we turned on the sprinklers and spent a few hours playing in the water. Michael then got the grill going and we had a great barbecue. Once the sun started setting, we headed out to a neighboring town to see the fireworks. Sarah slept right through them, Annabelle was mesmerized by them, and Jillian couldn't sit still long enough to enjoy much of them. Of course, it's way past her bedtime and she'd had a busy day. She was so tired. she had that desperate last minute energy you sometimes get before completely passing out with fatigue. After we walked back to the car and got everyone settled in their seats, all three kids were asleep within minutes. I really enjoyed spending the day with my family and am so grateful for this great nation we live in.
Sarah felt asleep on the walk over. Isn't it funny how babies can sleep in any position?

Annabelle was being quite creative and made her own homemade water slide.
Sarah loved being outside while her sisters played in the sprinklers.
