The Independence Day festivities started with the Freedom Festival's balloon glow. We had perfect weather...some would even say chilly. They had record crowds gather at Brucemore to watch the balloons get 'blown' up.
Rowan spent a large amount of his time napping with Gma Julie.
Viv had a great time and actually stayed around our group instead of trying to take off!
We started the 4th off by heading to Monticello for the pancake breakfast and parade.
My happy little firecrackers!
Waiting for the parade to start...
Rowan hung out in the back with Papa Mark.
Viv quickly got the hang of picking up the candy.
The parade was a success...
The evening portion....not so much. We went to the country club planning on swimming and hanging out until the fireworks...but I got the timing all wrong and Nathan ended up twisting his ankle. So he, Rowan and Mark ended up heading home and the rest of stayed to watch the fireworks.
This pic is the one moment we could get Viv to sit still...she was not into the fireworks at all and we ended up having to watch them from the clubhouse. Oh well! Happy 4th of July!
