Fourth of July

Holy Hot Weather! July 4th was a hot one this year! With temps in the 100s, we referred to this year's event as "Sweatfest." We went to the annual parade to begin with. Thankfully, Matt's family found a shady place for us to sit. There was quite the crew of us! It has become a tradition to go with Matt's immediate family and also some of his cousins and aunt and uncle.

The parade was good as usual. Plus, no one melted :)

Afterward, we went to Matt's cousin's house for swimming, golf cart rides, food, and fun.

The evening ended with fireworks. Kelsey has been talking about fireworks for a long time and was funny while watching them because she liked to comment about each one. She also had a special request to listen to "Firework" by Katy Perry while watching the fireworks. Aunt Diane filled her request and made one happy little girl. Megan was sound asleep when we arrived to the fireworks, but she woke up to watch them. She didn't get scared and actually didn't seem too phased by them. I think she was pretty exhausted from the go-go-go of the day and the heat and was happy when we finally got to her bed.

Happy Birthday, America!
