Our 4th of July

We had a great weekend filled with boating, friends, 4th July parade and fireworks it was a great family weekend!!! Makayla was a little more afraid to do fireworks this year than last year not sure if its cause the kids weren't here this year to show her the ropes or if she has just gotten that much older to realize if I don't hold this sparkler the correct way it might burn me and that will hurt either way she warmed up to it and had fun.



She also had her first boat ride and loved it. She got so excited about trying to catch a fish with her buddy Matt that even though they weren't able to get one the joy of catching a little seaweed was enough to make a little 3yr old a happy girl. Matt even let her drive the boat all by herself and she made us all dizzy driving us in circles.





We went to the apple valley 4th July parade this year again like we did last year and had a lot of fun doing that but we learned last year to go in the morning to reserve a spot with some blankets to secure a front row seat so we did and she got to get the real experience of a parade and of course that is catching all the candy they through out.







All & All it was a great Holiday weekend and we ended it with home made 4th July cookies.

Even though my red cookies turned out pink, hey I tried they were still delicious as always!!!
