Fourth of July

We have a grand time on the Fourth of July. Here are a few of the fun things we did. We made special cupcakes. Ellie came up with the fun idea of melting candy melts, dipping marshmallows in them and then rolling them in holiday sprinkles. Then we found these fun picks from Wilton. They were a hit. In the morning we did the Bicycle Parade in the Grandparent's neighborhood. It is a ton of fun. We decorate bikes, wagons, scooters, (or what every you like). We play patriotic music while following behind an old and wonderful fire truck. After several rounds we end at Molly's house for lemonade, Popsicles, little prizes, fire truck rides and a water hose fight.






We also make fun decorations. Here are the flowers that Ellie and I made for Grandma Gay's Party.

One of my favorite parts is getting to pet a new crop of dogs. This one is a Golden Doodle ( a mix between poodle and Golden Retriever). Her name is Sadie and she is so soft. I may have to have one some day.

We also had dinner with our friend, Karen. Then we headed over to Dave and Cleo's house for another BBQ and fireworks. We also went to the art festival, but I will save that for another day.
