Fourth of July

When we moved last year, we were told 4th of July was HUGE in our town. We live in a wonderful community that is very social. Being new and knowing almost no one made last year pretty lonely. Fast forward one year, and it makes for fun times. We started the day at a friend's house where the Eagle had landed. This family goes all in for the 4th and it was great!

Then we sat in 99 degree heat, sweating profusely watching the parade. Matthew and Nathaniel quit the parade halfway through and I was not sad about it. I am legitimately thankful to God I was not born until A/C was invented and in full swing. Also thankful I live in toilet paper times.

After Nathaniel took a nap and we cooled down we headed back out for some games at the park.

We had chicken salad for lunch because I had a leftover rotisserie chicken and chicken salad is delicious and then we had French toast and eggs for dinner. Makes sense that this hot dog loving family chose those options on the biggest hot dog day of the year.
