4th of July

We host a 4th of July family BBQ each year that starts with the parade, followed by food, and it ends with fireworks at 10pm. This year was so hot, it even broke a record when it reached 100 degrees. Add the thick humidity and it was the first year we spent the afternoon indoors. We brought our canopy to the parade to keep the sun off of most of us which helped immensely. We ate some great food as usual and stayed cool inside and played Apples to Apples. This year we had the kids nap late and allowed them to watch the fireworks. They both really enjoyed them, though Leo needed to cover his ears. We had Dru wear Julie's protective headset which she liked so she didn't have to hold her hands to her ears. It was another successful party!
