Our 4th of July weekend festivities started Saturday with a very small parade put on by a local church down the street. It was the first year they had done the parade and it was about 10 minutes long. The kids didn't mind since they ended up with tons of candy!
After the parade there was a little festival at the church with bouncy houses, firetrucks, food etc. . . We stayed for a little while, but the 100 degree heat was brutal.
We took our kids to watch fireworks downtown on the top deck of Cole's parking garage. We were the only ones up there which was nice. We were able to see several different fireworks shows way out in the distance. Not quite the grand feeling of being up close, but there were no crowds or traffic to deal with. We also saw a helicopter land on the next building over.
Once we started to see fireworks Tessa retreated to the safety of the car. We were so far away that there weren't any loud noises. Not sure what scared her.
We also went to 2 different BBQ's over the weekend with friends from church and the other with some fellow residents.
