Fourth Festivities

We had a great 4th of July! We started the day with a birthday party for our friend's little girl. "Born on the 4th of July..." I have that song stuck in my head when I think about her. Anyways, then we headed home for Cam to take nap. When he woke up, we went to see "Up", which was a daring move with 3 kiddos, but went pretty well. We made sure to have lots of treats on hand, which we ate so much of that we didn't even have room for dinner. What a bad mommy I am! My mom would NOT be proud. Then as it turned into evening, we headed downtown to watch the fireworks. We found a good parking spot and slipped away pretty quickly after the show, which is always a bonus. We enjoyed a good show, yet I still miss the days growing up when we would go to Herndon High. Nothing seems to quite compare (even the ones I saw in DC). They always seemed to have the best fireworks...so close you'd get hit with little pellets. What could be more exciting than that? So here are our pics from the day.

Camden was quite camera shy all day.

Doesn't matter what color it is, a bike is a bike.
A rare photo of Benny & I...

Shy Cam once again

I've never seen such a cool 4th of July ( I had a big sweatshirt and blanket for the fireworks!). I think I felt a drop or two of rain during the day, but other than that a very coolish, windy day--hence hazel's hair (are you loving my alliteration?)

Is it just me or is she getting WAY too big...and by big I mean old. She's such a skinny little thing.

Cam snuck away to play with some trucks...maybe he didn't want to share??

Wish I'd gotten a better photo of the kiddos...they were so cute at their little table

And then there was Cam...
(he insisted on sitting by himself at this table...and then he invited me and only me to join him. Guess the hustle and bustle of the party was too much for him.

Daddy & his Hazel

Cam perked up when the sprinkler ball was turned on. What a hit!

Enjoying her Daddy.

And that was that. Hope you all had a great day!
