4th of July Festivities

With cousins in town and dangerously hot weather it could only mean one holiday - the 4th of July!  On 4th of July Eve we attended Madeira's parade with a lot of family and a lot of cooling devices. Last year Mae was not a fan of the overly loud firetrucks.  This year was no different.  Anna, well, she just seemed bored as she never even knew we left the house.  The rest of us just survived the heat.  On the 4th of July, we headed to Aunt Beth's and Uncle Brian's for a grill out, fun, and root beer/cream soda floats. -T

Anna ready to go; Mae, well, as ready as she can be

"No like."

The girl sweats enough as it is, this just is not fair.

As close to the water fun as Mae would get

Maybe shd thought this was a water slide and it would be more fun than a slip 'n slide 

What all the other kids were doing

What Mae was doing; at least she doesn't give in to peer pressure if she doesn't want to do something

So I guess if she doesn't like water that she's not really going to like fire much either

She did like the glow in the dark bracelet on the way home though!  Driving past the fireworks an hour before they started was the closest we got to real fireworks.
