I love the 4th of July.It's like the very best of summer all on one day!
This year was super wet and even a bit chilly, though. Strange, I know! I was a bit sad at first, but really I think the rain made it even more fun.
We went to the pancake feed/bike parade again this year. The boys did an awesome job of decorating their bikes and did so well riding in the parade. (I was nervous for Lucas. He hasn't been riding on two wheels for long, but he managed to not crash or run over anyone! I was proud!)
There weren't very many kids in the parade so everyone ended up with a prize. Lucas was the very last one to have his number drawn. Towards the end we couldn't help but laugh every time the number called wasn't his. He was a good sport about it, although he desperately wanted to win something! In the end, though, the last prize was probably the best!
The rain managed to stop soon enough for us to set off our fireworks. It was perfect, really.
It was a fun 4th, even without the summer weather, although next year I'm hoping to be able to hangout by the pool like normal!
