We started the celebrating on Friday night actually when we took the kids to see "Up". We hadn't tried taking them all to a movie theatre in about a year, and it worked a lot better than it did a year ago. We all enjoyed it.
Saturday we went to "our parade" in the morning then Richard took the big kids to Chuck-E-Cheese while I grocery shopped with Poochy. After naptime (which was late and longer than usual because of our fireworks plans) the kids watched Muppets In Space. We had our American meal of hot dogs, chips, and soda for dinner with Patriotic drinks for dessert. Then it was off to the carnival and fireworks. The day was a blast. Fun piled on top of fun. We've never taken the kids to fireworks before because it's so late, but they did great and really enjoyed them. Isaiah especially was so tired, but he still watched with rapt attention. It was a perfect holiday!
Check out Isaiah's hands in the photo below. He had his flag and sucker carefully balanced in one hand and his water in the other. He maintained this balance for a good ten minutes. Alternating between sucker-sucking, water-drinking, and flag-waving.
Naomi's favorite part is always the "fancy ladies".
Our Patriotic drinks:
Carnival rides!
