July 4th is one of my favorite holidays.... I think cause Utah does it right over the fourth. I always miss home on the 4th but we're making it work over here too :) We had a big ol' party on the lane this year and we had such a fun time. The kiddos were in heaven cause there was something going on all day long. We had blow up pools, water tables, a bounce house, a bike parade with the whole neighborhood {although Weston and Holden were napping during it}, a bbq, crafts, some injuries, and pretty much pure craziness.
We had the kiddos paint terra cotta pots so we could roast marshmallows later in the evening. We had paint everywhere and then Weston fell out of the bounce house on a pot... but those were just a few road bumps in the July 4th fun.
Holden has his way with his first fudgesicle... he loved it.
Lame Livermore moved the fireworks this year {we used to be able to watch them on our street} so we just made our own show. Turns out it was just as much fun and the sparklers were a hit.
Then when we were cleaning up around 10 pm we remembered we hadn't roasted smores. Why not eat chocolate and marshmallows at 10pm. Our little pots pulled through. Here's to a happy fourth!

I was so mad about the fireworks too! We used to be able to just walk down our street and watch them from the church. Now it's all the way over by Las Positas?! And $20 to get in? So lame.
what a fun idea to use those pots for roasting?! never seen that before. and it looks like it really worked well. i may have to try that sometime.
also, i love that you just let your kids be kids and let Holden drip his popsicles all over himself and let them get dirty. i am so much more that way now with my third. anyway, happy 4th!
Looks like a blast and I love Weston's bandana!
