We started the morning with an adventure down to the assisted living home that Nana is now the director of. It was fun to visit with her for a few minutes and see where she works. And it's near where I grew up, so it was good to see a few old sights [McDonald's for fries and cokes :)] and of course all sorts of new stuff.
Then we joined up with Grandma for our neighborhood party. We enjoyed some bbq and then the kids [and Grandma too!] had a blast on the huge inflatable water slide. It sure looked awesome!
We watched the parade and fireworks with several members of our small group. The kids enjoyed the parade quite a bit; fortunately for them they didn't understand that just about the entire parade consisted of political candidates. All they knew was they got a lot of candy and stickers! And of course there were a couple police cars and swat trucks, as well as every tow truck in town.
In between the parade and fireworks we enjoyed playing with our small group friends and eating a picnic dinner. The highlight was the ballroom dancing studio next to where we were set up. It's owned by a couple from our church and they let us come in for a few minutes. Ryan and his friend Anna Wynn stole the floor. They were soooo cute dancing and twirling and having a blast. It was the most adorable thing to watch. The kids also enjoyed bubbles, sidewalk chalk, Josh's cars & ramps, and lots of sweets.
The fireworks show was really pretty good, esp given it was in Canton :) Abby thought they were super loud and she stayed in my lap the whole time. But she slowly got used to them and sat up a little straighter to take it all in.
It was a great day with family and friends! Happy 236th Birthday America! [yes, Ryan asked me how old America was and I had to do the math].
