We made it home from Utah just in time to enjoy the Fourth of July in Oklahoma. The fourth has always been one of my favorite holidays. I'm not sure if the color scheme has something to do with it, but I'm sure my pyromania is a contributing factor. I guess I just love having a real family holiday in the middle of the summer. My mom sent some very cute and patriotic outfits home for all her kids so we quickly got them all together for a picture before they got ketchup and mustard all over everything.
Our town had an awesome parade. To be honest, it was a little lengthy, but we lucked out with an overcast, cool day so it wasn't murder by sunshine.
And out of all of the floats, marching bands, and mini-cars buzzing around, this was by far my girls' favorite parade entry. Rerro Raggy!
Here's a little something we whipped up for our afternoon picnic. We are so lucky that all of our friends share their pools with us!
We finished the night off with the big fireworks display. Winn may have gotten over her fear of water this summer, but she sure hasn't warmed up to the idea of booming explosives. After a major meltdown, she and Daddy enjoyed the fireworks from inside the car, while June, Sofie and I gave Disney princess names to each sparkling blast, based on their shape and color. Perfect end to a perfect day!

Glad you guys had fun. We're already having withdrawals. We need to come for a visit and crash your friends' pool parties!
