With the 4th of July on a Wednesday this year, it was an easy decision to stay close to home instead of treking to be with one of our families as we have done in the past. We joined up with some other local families to be a part of Issaquah's fun family parade.
Although Clara is hiding her enthusiasm in a few of these photos, she did have a lot of fun passing out candy and taking in all of the festive decorations.
The Karr family also was in the parade with us. Dads got wagon pulling duty...
Janie liked riding in the wagon!
I may have gotten a little carried away with these matchy bandana shirts for Clara & I but there were just too fun for this sort of an occasion!
The Red, White & Blue Candy Crew
The Karr Family
The Michael Family
After the parade there were all sorts of booths and fun kid activities in the park. We stayed for a little while and then headed home for naps.
In the afternoon we went over to the neighbors house for a fun block party. It was really low key and super fun for all the kids!
Someone brought corn on a stick and J Bug was in heaven!
Brooke made chocolate covered frozen bananas - such a hit with all the kids!
Courtney & Landon
Clara's first sparkler - she was concentrating really hard here!
Later, some neighbors let off a few fireworks and this was Clara's reaction to them! After getting the kids and bed, Kev & I snuggled on the couch and watched the Space Needle display on TV.
