We just celebrated the fourth of July yesterday. The weather was terrible and it rained on an off and then was muggy during the afternoon. By evening it had cooled off a little bit and the mosquitoes were out and ready. Dave got us up for an early church pancake breakfast. We ate lots of pancakes and Addison enjoyed running around the gym with her friends. Dave kept telling Addison it was America's birthday. She kept singing happy birthday all day:) We had plans to go on a little hike, but ended up staying inside instead. Dave went airsoft shooting with the scouts and I took Addi to get a happy meal for lunch. She was pretty thrilled that she got her own mini spicy juice of sprite:) We took some much needed naps and then grilled out a nice feast complete with lemonade slushies. Our friends Kait and Erik had some families over until the fireworks started. The boys played Kan Jam all night and Jenny and I chased Addison around the back yard. We found a little hill away from the crowd where you could see the fireworks and it was perfect! Addison got a glow necklace and bracelet so it was easy to see her running around the field. I made muddy buddies and we had salt water taffy. Addison was terrified of the fire works for the first half. She was clinging to Dave's neck and then slowly migrated from my lap to Jenny's. She kept calling them baby and mommy fireworks depending on the size. It was pretty cute. We got home and all had to shower off our thick bug spray. It was a great fourth of July!
