Fantastic 4th

We have a family tradition on the 4th of July , like we do with most holidays.  This year it was a little different.  James took Emma and Noah down to see the parade in Woodstock and Abbie and I went shopping.  Normally we would all go as as a family, but I really needed to go grocery shopping before it got crazy.  I like the parade but how many political figures and Shriner's can one take?  The "little ones" had fun with daddy and Abbie and I had some good quality time together.



My favorite 4th of July picture!

They had a great time with all of the festivities.  We had a relaxing afternoon at home.  Around dinner time we packed a picnic, picked up my mom and headed out to see fireworks.  We like to get there early  and enjoy each others company.  Emma, mom and I played a game of Phase 10.  Noah made friends with a little boy next to us and James and Abbie went for a walk.  
We had a fun day!!  
The fireworks were great as usual!!
We made a fast exit out of BJ's and headed towards mom and dad's apartment when she realized she didn't have her key card to get through the gates at her apartment complex.  Abbie was excited to climb the gates and do something "illegal".  A little scary excited!!  She actually was able to go through after a car and then she ran towards grandma and grandpa's car to get the card.  I was able to get through the gate after somebody and we were able to get mom safely home!    Too funny!!
