Happy 4th of July!!

What a wonderful July 4th we had! We started the day with a parade in Coppell.  The Amersons turned us on to this idea and it was a great one! The kids loved it!  We loaded up some Capri-suns in the little red wagon (thanks Nonnie for this awesome gift - it is a must, especially if you have twins!) and found a nice spot to watch the parade go by! Their favorite was the police officers on their motorcycles, which Chris insists on calling "fuzz"... We will definitely attend a parade next year!  Late afternoon, the family came over and we grilled out, even great-Grandma Ruby was in town.  We created this nice little set-up for the kids - their own little water slide, classy, I know!  The kids still go to sleep between 7 and 8, so they missed the fireworks.   Everyone came back over about 9:30 and we walked to the field right behind our house where we got to see fireworks from 3 different cities! It was really incredible! What a wonderful day!

How fun!!! Parades are always so fun for the kiddos!! We'll have to remember that next year! And we'll for SURE look into the wagon :-) . We have a wagon, but we'll probably get one with seatbelts for the twins :-) . Campbell can keep the other wagon all to herself!
